Building USD Plugins - Arnold for Katana

Since KtoA 3.1.0.0 a custom fork of KatanaUsdPlugins is included with the KtoA installer targeting Katana 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0. The Autodesk fork contains tags for each KtoA release, in the form of KtoA-<version> . There are situations when a local build is preferred over the one included in the KtoA installer. The build can be completed following the official guide , but the installed plugin's structure is slightly changed.

The updated environment setup instructions:

 export KATANA_RESOURCES=$KATANA_RESOURCES:/path/to/usd_for_katana/plugin
