Loading stage layers under new parent xform #3743
Comments
Thank you for logging this @BSalem, we will discuss this with the team and see if this could be a possibility. |
thanks David @santosd |
Hi @BSalem, I was discussing this with one of our designers and she stated that because of how USD works this may not be a possibility. However, the way that is possible to do this currently is to load in your file as a reference or a payload. So basically create a stage, create your Xform and then right click on it and use the "Add USD Reference\Payload" then this load it under the Xform. Let me know if this could work on your end. |
Hi @santosd |
@BSalem on export make sure that your usd file has a default prim selected; only the root prim will show in a USD Reference file. If there is no default prim, then nothing will display. If you have multiple geos in Maya that you want to export and use in your USD reference, then you may want to put them all under the same Group and select that Group as the default prim so that you can see everything you want un the USD Reference. |
Thanks @santosd , yeah, I noticed that. We still have our usd exporter which translates the USD/Alembic Maya References into an assembly USD stage according to hierarchy we setup in Maya, that we can use it anyway until we do the transition, however, it would be great if we consider the ability to load USD references under user defined paths (as what can do in Katana and Solaris). |
Some assets might be exported out without roots, when loading a stage sublayers, all objects from all usd layers are merged down together under the stage, while it's not possible to create xform and do make it parent to the loaded usd sublayer prims.
So I'm suggesting adding an option/checkbox withing the "Load sublayers" dialog beside each sublayer to allow loading it under a newly created xform which gets saved with the stage including the transform edits applied on it.
