.. note:: In addition to this |omni|-compatible Blender install, which allows users to have solid import/export capabilities with Omniverse, an alpha version of the :ref:`Blender Nucleus Connector` add-on is available, to streamline access to Omniverse assets and to enhance Omniverse interoperability.
