OpenUSD Material
Author materials using UsdShadeMaterial and PBR UsdPreviewSurface inputs, then bind
them to prims. Requires the pxr OpenUSD runtime — all tools fail with a
clear error when pxr is not available.
Workflow
- Ensure a stage exists (use
openusd-stage__create_stage or openusd-project).
create_material — define a UsdShadeMaterial prim.create_preview_surface — attach a UsdPreviewSurface shader to the material.bind_material — bind the material onto a geometry/shading prim.
