Sample Code Projects#
Sample code projects are repositories that NVIDIA provides for you to independently tinker with and explore. These projects can range in complexity from pared down samples for understanding the key components or full production examples that show how a mature OpenUSD project can be structured.
USD Plugin Samples#
This repository contains a set of samples that illustrate authoring of different kinds of plug-ins for USD. In particular, the repository contains plug-in samples for:
USD schemas (both code and codeless)
File Format Plugins
Dynamic Payloads
NVIDIA provides these samples so that you can get started on your USD plug-in journey. Feel free to fork this repository, delete the portions you don’t need, and customize the remaining in whatever way suits your USD environment.
