Quick USD

Use this Blender Addon to cleanly export meshes from Blender to separate .usda files with textures applied along with being neatly packaged in it's own folder.

v0.3.0 Walkthrough Video

Requirements

These are HARD requirements, otherwise Quick USD won't be able to apply the textures, only save out and package up the USD.

YOU NEED TO HAVE USD INSTALLED FOR THE MAIN PYTHON ENVIRONMENT ON YOUR PC

Python 3.6.7 - REQUIRED FOR PYTHON USD! Set as Main Python for PC through environment variables.
- Install PySide2 and PyOpenGL to python, e.g., python -m pip install PySide2 PyOpenGL
USD Binaries installed
- Use & Install the Nvidia Prebuilt Binaries here for less headache
Add %USDROOT%\bin and %USDROOT%\lib to the front of %PATH%
Add %USDROOT%\lib\python to the front of %PYTHONPATH%

Test USD Install to Verify

Open a terminal and attempt these commands to make sure USD is properly setup.

usdcat.cmd %USDROOT%\share\usd\tutorials\convertingLayerFormats\Sphere.usd should return :

#usda 1.0

def Sphere "sphere"
{
}

usdview.cmd %USDROOT%\share\usd\tutorials\traversingStage\HelloWorld.usda should bring up usdview with a simple Sphere
Check python setup with import pxr . It should not error out or say pxr is missing.
