      • DCC/Jupyter Notebook Integration (JT) 

      • Omniverse Native Interface (NVidia)

  • Sub-working group updates

    • USD Camera (Michael M.)

      • No updates this week, no meeting since last session.

      • No meeting since last session.

  • Call for additional topics

    • Continued work on Jupyter notebook/USD/DCC integration.

    • How is Omniverse making use of Hydra for rendering

      • RTX renderer uses USD for interchange, uses a modified Hydra implementation.

      • Standard Hydra still has OpenGL dependencies

      • In future, modifications would likely be open sourced for possibly inclusion upstream.

    • GLTF/KTX support in USD

      • Would need a file format plugin in order to support

      • NVidia would like to collaborate if others are interested in developing KTX support.
