USD for 3ds Max

USD Overview

USD (Universal Scene Description) is an extensible framework developed by Pixar that allows robust and scalable interchange of complex 3D scene data.

The USD for 3ds Max plug-in lets you create and edit USD data, and facilitates collaborations by streamlining data transfer between products (ie. Maya and 3ds Max). By enabling USD data to flow in and out of 3ds Max, this plug-in supports DCC-agnostic pipelines, streamlines workflows, and allows non-linear collaboration between artists.
