Live for USD presenter Project Workflow#

For an overview of the Project Structure in USD Presenter, please see USD Presenter documentation. A USD Presenter project, when Live is enabled, allows for input streams of other Live Sessions to a main Live Session. This allows smaller more focused Live Sessions to be viewed by the main project. To accomplish this, some of the standard Live Session Workflow is automated.

  1. Live Session from the Connectors perspective is optimized as follows:

    • All connector live sessions that have a project set will always name its Layers Live session “Default”

      • For example, when a connector goes live as part of a project, the session is automatically called Default and the create/join dialog is skipped.

      • This will not allow for named connector live sessions.

    • A connector .live, and merge process is identical to the regular.

  2. Live Session from the Project perspective is optimized as follows:

    • As noted above, The Live streams from the Connectors Live Session is added at the project level. This allows users in USD Presenter to also see incoming changes from independent Live Sessions.

    • When the Live session is ended from the Project level, in Omniverse USD Presenter, an optimized set of only two options are presented.

      • Merge: Always merged to projectEdits.usd at the top of the layer stack.

      • Do Not Merge: Does not merge.

Note

Live Collaboration project structure is not available in all applications and connectors.
