Release Notes

Warning

The USD ecosystem is becoming more strict in enforcing standards. In some cases this can break older assets authored previous to these changes. We have introduced an Asset Validator Extension to help fix these issues and create more robust assets. If you suspect something is wrong when you load an asset or you see a warning, please run the extension which can be found under the Windows > Utilities > Asset Validator sub menu. Refer to the Asset Validator Documentation for more info or to the materials related documentation about the Asset Validator.
