Is USD the Future of 3D Animation / VFX?

[@SirWade]

Which example was the most intriguing to you? Any ideas what you'd want to do with all this tech? :)

[@TheHighFlys]

I'm killing for PhysX 5 capabilities inside either Unity or UE5, USD on the other hand is easily the future and animation curves are the next big update

[@ThePowerchimp]

Tools like Omniverse is the main reason Ive never been tempted by an AMD graphics card. nvidia has better integration with pro apps like maya for GPU rendering etc. so many tech review youtube channels are focussed on gaming and rarely do i see this pointed out.

[@DarkerCry]

tbh I'm still not completely sold on Omniverse, if you're working inside of Unreal wouldn't you want to skip Omniverse and to just have your USD scene directly inside of unreal instead? Maybe if you don't have a decent physic simulation app, like Houdini I could see it being useful but even Blender is getting pretty good at that stuff now.

[@romeoinferno]

Great summary of USD! You mentioned using alembic from Maya to UE because of deformations. But does USD support non linear deformations (Like lattices)? Since UE still can't handle non linear deformation, I wonder if this would be a nice work around. Thanks again for the great content!

[@whynotcode]

I'm mostly interested in Apple Vision Pro's adoption of USD. Reality Composer Pro is a quick way to make little USD scenes. Their converter from glTF doesn't work that well. I don't know if USD will ever be able to make it to the web but glTF is so limited compared to USD.

[@cloudshifter]

USD needs to become a thing. The sheer fact that you need to re rig or change a bunch of parameters from program to program is work flow killing.

[@scottwilson3378]

USD out of the box won't give you a full rigging solution. At the moment, a USD rig may look more like an FBX or gLTF rig. However, you could use USD to describe all of your rigging elements, then write a solver, then have each of the DCC packages just use your rig solver instead of its own if you want to have a much more complicated rig system.

[@pipeliner8969]

@@scottwilson3378 true. The USD team is thinking about it but this will take like 10+ years and all DCCs have to adapt

[@mpsterprod]

@@scottwilson3378 there is no sense in USD, there is no need to standardize infinity

[@scottwilson3378]

@@mpsterprod I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. USD is designed to represent a scene. You could probably go as far as making it the scene format for a DCC package, if you're interested. It isn't designed to be a representation for an image or volume, for example.

USD is open-source but it requires specific hardware from nvidia (an RTX card). even closed source formats are not as predatory and exploitative as this strategy. look how much the video emphasizes on USD being open-source, and completely ignoring how using it requires specific hardware from 1 company along with software and plugins that come from it.

That's true if your useing Omniverse but not if your just using it like a intermediate file format

As someone who worked on the early stages of Omniverse as an NVDIA intern in 2019, it's very exciting to me that more and more people are talking about the technology and how it can be beneficial to both big productions and small teams. Great video!

[@daytimerat]

[@scofrona]

I think I literally just read recently that the one area USD hasn't been able to effectively break into is rigging. If rigging tools and hierarchies could work outside of application specific formats that would be incredibly powerful, especially with something like Control Rig coming to Unreal where they want animation to be possible not just in external software. Or even for making it possible to convert rigs more effectively between say Maya and Blender.

[@mati-codes]

There's some promising development for that in the works. Pixar shared some plans for their OpenExec proposal which could serve as the lower-level execution framework for a rigging system within USD. Keep an eye out! 🙂

[@dalelinney8437]

Would we still be breaking ToS by taking a USD Metahuman out of Unreal tho?

[@kamazooliy]

@@dalelinney8437 nah. As long as it ends up back in unreal in some form.

[@efex5720]

Nice Video, regarding why usd is so small and fast, one big reason is the way it handles attributes. For example Position and UV's, usually when you write out a cache all the attributes are written out for every frame, while in usd it is smart enough to understand that uv's do not change over time so they are only written out once and only the attributes which do change are written out every frame. Also it supports something called indexing where it can store all the values which exist and simply point to the value for a point instead of writing the same value multiple times. When you make proper use of this system you write out a usd file which on its own is useless because you can only write the changes in there, so even leaving out the information how to draw the geometry. But when you layer this on top of you asset in t pose for example you have the entire animation for a tiny fraction of the filesize you usually would have, that is how we do it at the studio for example. And of course there are more things going on under the hood which i also do not know yet, but it is super optimized.

[@OfficialAEPBR]

I have never tried USD but this video really has shown the capabilities 😮

[@Im_Ninooo]

the Blender implementation can still improve but it's enabling me to render my animations in UE5 (mostly 60FPS so no Cycles and Eevee is quite limited). super promising technology!

[@ComixProductions]

What makes me really excited is rendering my Blender projects in something like UE5 for faster results, ofc using USD! Glitch Productions already do it with their Maya projects (although im not entirely sure if they use USD) but this kind of workflow looks so amazing and i hope that info for it gets more and more accessible since trying to use it before was quite hard for me 😅

[@thornnorton5953]

Both USD and MaterialX are the future. Shouldn’t take an entire investment to switch programs and renderers.

[@z.ace.44]

Free, Opensource, International Standard "things" is arguably one of the best humanity creation

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Great presentation. You are so correct. USD is the future. I've connected with many other 3D artists that use different 3D apps, and we all can work together without having to learn a new 3D program. I'm a fan of USD. I'm currently learning how to move USD files from Maya to UE5.2. It's a Game changer.

[@callumaustin9567]

This all sounds great in theory but USD has some big problems. Firstly, the implementation of USD per studio can be totally different. In that sense it's not universal at all. The second problem is that it was made at Pixar and works well for their tools such as Presto. But when you're relying on 10 different companies to implement it, like autodesk, sidefx, maxon, etc... you start to notice how different and clunky the implementation can be. For example, using USD in Solaris stops users from using regular SOPs unless it gets converted back to regular geo. In maya, there's a USD outliner, which means there are two outliners, hella confusing. Thirdly, it's complicated. You need skilled TDs or engineers to properly set up a pipeline for this in order to get everything working together for modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, fx, lighting, compositing. Whereas with say, alembic, you can just export and import and do everything the vanilla way with minimal pipeline. And besides, something like rigging with never be universal. Finally, and this is perhaps the worst thing about USD..... it stifles competition. Developers of 3d software, and renderers are now locked in an confined to using a specific set of requirements. They can't adjust their workflow to work outside of USD because then it's not longer universal. This is perhaps the most overlooked problem.

[@Magmoe]

Sorry, but this is nonsense

[@CreativeSteve69]

As someone like me that has been getting into fun world-building type projects recently. Working a couple right now. Seeing this type of tech being real is really exciting. Especially learning how it can help me save time using different programs from blender, houdini and UE5.

[@cgaltruist2938]

been authoring and using USDs in production trough Solaris for over a year + and clearly for me there’s not moving away from it, but, I must say that it’s not beginner friendly and heavy on concepts. If you have experience with assembly from animation to lighting and understanding the process of the workflow it will be easier to grasp “why go USD”. It’s not a format. It’s a pipeline. It’s not only a layer system, it’s a override system that layer up in an additive way any attributes of primitive’s and it’s a reference system in steroids hence the universality. But I can see grasping all the new jargon can be a difficult pill to swallow for a lot of artists.

[@owenjenkinsofficial]

This was one of the better explanations I've seen on the reason USD and Omniverse work so great. I myself need to explore its capabilities a bit more, since last time that I downloaded Omniverse was right before a big project and so I ended up neglecting the whole "learn how to actually implement and use it". I do love how easy it looks like it has become to implement this into a team workflow whether local or abroad!

[@hardwire666too]

I'm glad to hear athere was a lot of talk about USD at Siggraph. I've been waiting quite a while for wider more general adoption of it.

[@SodaDjinn]

Great video! I remember whenI had to export a scene from Blender to UE5 last year and FBX just wouldn't play nice. I was recommended to use USD and import as USD scene. Worked like charm and I've kept using USD since without really thinking too much about it. Still, it's good to have it explained a little more so thanks!

[@jatinjulka6478]

But usd is not nicely developed yet right now as in use for animation . Its straight go into level seq nd if i build new level all the assets go missing location - last time i had so many objects i had to relink etc

[@asr59]

I find there are many videos talking about USD as a file format, hardly any of them talk about the concepts and organisation within the file

[@PhilR0gers]

It's great to hear industry news from you. I had already seen the USD importer in Blender's Import menu, but didn't know anything about it. Now I know that USD is something that I need to pay attention to in future if its growth is as rapid as you say.

[@XianJaxxon]

In theory, USD is great, but in practice it's a mess unless you have a TD lead team that can convince everyone to take this very open-ended format and add their work via a rock-solid and agreed-upon structure. Most of the studios I work with aspire to use it company-wide, but as of yet can't do so because differing teams have different needs that step on the toes of other teams. USD was designed to make things simpler, but in reality it adds an extra layer of complication to an already complicated process. I hope as we move forward USD will become more facile, but it's not there yet.

[@theshizon]

Walt Disney animation uses USD and it's amazing, yes it's an extra layer, but, the structure takes care of itself from department to department. Publishes are automatically inserted into the scene. It doesn't step on the toes of other teams at all.

[@XianJaxxon]

@@theshizon I'm glad to hear that somebody's making it work.. of course it would be Disney - a company that has the resources to make it work. A lot of smaller companies thus far don't.

[@catsnorkel]

@@XianJaxxon pretty much every larger studio is USD based now, or at least transitioning to it, or a hybrid workflow

[@XianJaxxon]

@@catsnorkel no argument there; the studios I work for are also transitioning to USD...they just haven't done it yet due to the reasons I listed. There's so much room for chaos in the USD if not handled correctly, especially in a parallel development pipeline. With a Dev Team that sets guidelines for use hopefully this could be avoided, but I haven't seen it work yet as a company-wide approach.

[@XianJaxxon]

I should say they're 'starting' to transition... baby steps.

USDs are great, but only when implemented right. I’ve worked at companies that don’t use them right, and boy are they a pain to work with in those situations. For example, one company would not have the writing of the usds working properly, which would cause a lot of the overwriting that may happen to not happen properly, causing errors all throughout the scene. But when it works, it works wonders

[@skurow3611]

Thanks for the awesome video! Great to see you at Siggraph in the Epic breakout room. Wish we could have had some time to chat.

[@DanialBarazandeh]

I tried it a little bit. I used to connect my Unreal Engine 5.3, Substance Painter, and Blender together. Sadly, when you work with multiple software and they regularly push an update, sometimes your connections on Omniverse will not support the new updates. You need to wait a little bit or use the older version. Sometimes, the setting up process could face some issues that take time to solve. Of course, if you want to see real-time changes on the file, you need to have all the software open by nature; this kind of software is demanding. Using it in a solo environment or a small indie team would not make sense. It would be way more usable on more significant projects. But at the moment, it needs a lot more work to be stable.

[@ShivKachiwala]

amazing update! This is mind blowing and saves a ton of time and directly puts creatives into their creative workflow! USD is amazing, will try this out soon!

[@mmbbff]

I work with USD every day and we have changed and adapted our entire pipeline for it. let me know if you want to have a chat or if you are planning to do an update/second USD video.

[@StdDev99]

The dream of having a real universal format sounds nice on paper. But even with USD, each tool exports custom stuff inside that no other tools understand. Or have to sacrifice some details to make it exportable. For example, try to export some omniverse assets and view them in usdview

[@ShaneCasserly]

I had no idea od the capabilities of USD and its function. wow.

[@nilo_river]

I really do hope Blackmagic Design does double down and really implements USD fully for Fusion, both standalone and inside resolve.

[@4.0.4]

That would be really cool, but isn't the renderer they have quite limited? I'm not sure, maybe you can comment on that.

[@jmalmsten]

@@4.0.4 With v18.5 there was "Initial support" for USD files in Fusion. With a renderer that at first couldn't do shadows. I think it has shadows now in a recent patch but I haven't seen too much buzz around it. The USD system in Fusion also has "support for Hydra based renderers, such as Storm". What that will mean for adding third party Renderers with more features and better optimized performance, I don't know. At the moment, it's baby steps. Fusion right now has two very separate 3D systems. I do hope they take things further to merge them seamlessly in a near future. Since USD seems to become the defacto industry standard, I think they have a lot to lose if they don't. But yeah, if I could build full scenes in Blender, import them to Resolve Fusion, do final camera animation there, and render with something like Omniverse or Unreal 5 in Fusion and have full playback on the Resolve Timeline (probably assisted with cache renders)... That would be such awesome, much wow. But at the moment, you need to talk with someone more skilled and up to date with Fusion USD 3D if you want more than just speculation. And, of course, we need to badger Blackmagic relentlessly so they know we don't want them to forget about the USD bits in Fusion. :)

[@wileji]

Your wish has been fulfilled

[@jmalmsten]

@@wileji I'm not sure it has... yet... Yes I have seen the recent updates. It's going forwards. But I do hope they fully merge the two systems soon. I mean. For one thing. How would I make a 3D tracked camera that renders a USD object? The camera tracker can export a legacy 3D camera with all the animation. But I see no way to put a USD render in that pipeline. It's still very separate. If they merge the systems somehow or port most functions to the 3D renderer (presumably to keep the old system for compability). My hopes are still there, but I wouldn't say that my wishes are granted... at least not yet.

[@dancingshapes]

I have an issue with usd at work as an animator. When modeling department is updating and pushing as asset but rigging deptartment still didn't update and pushed it. Then I get errors when I try to publish and push the animation, I have to wait until the rig file and model file are all in sync. I tried to understand from the pipeline department but they just say that it's how usd works. I don't know if there is actual a solution for this, but as an animator it was more straight forward when we worked with alembics. And on another note > would be amazing if Blender could add shapekeys to cached animations (usd or alembic), unfortunatly it is still not possible, but it could be an amazing shotsculpt tool in a usd pipeline.

[@juhairakhter1495]

When u can export as USD but don't receive any USD 😭 3D is a funny industry

[@brunocandia9671]

The big problem! with USD, especially for environments, is that it doesn't give you the free option to manipulate the materials, you don't have full control as an artist here. You can only use it with the set parameters of each software(USD), that's a big problem for me. (The other problem is the optimization of the shaders, they weigh a lot.)

[@Justinjaro]

As someone who has worked with USD and coded USD pipelines for tv and film, it's not really viable for less organized artists and teams. Every file and asset needs to be referenced via a path and preferably a local path just to load a USD scene. I still run into people who just load textures from their downloads folder and wonder why they can't share projects.

@@TheHighFlys because its an attempt to make a standardised format for something that is inherently non standard. Each graphical application, program, engine, etc, handles the implementation details in a different way according to their needs at the time. A common description method for data across all platforms makes no sense... in the end you're just making another format just like the already existing ones. Think about this: an engine implements their own graphics pipeline based on PBR graphics. Then we have an egine specifically made for graphical 2D applications. Now we have an engine designed for NPR graphics... you get the deal. Each of this has their own implementation of what a material is, what shaders are used, what information and attributes each material has, etc... because why would you add the performance overhead required for PBR in a program that was made exclussively for NPR or flat shaded graphics for visualization? In the end, USD is just like any other format... the fact that the changes happen in real time is not a feature of USD, you can implement the exact same thing with fbx or obj or any custom self made format that you want. Because there has to be a translation layer between the format and all the implementation specific details for every single program. In the end, if you want a certain attribute or feature to be supported, you need to add it to your format, and then you need to translate it for the programs that are going to use it, very much just like any importer ever made. Jblow made already a realtime asset reloader, which people went crazy over even tho its one of the simplest technologies one could even code in computer graphics... USD is not the solution to standardized formats because programs will still be implementation defined. This can only make sense if we reach a point of adoption similar to how graphics programmers adopted opengl as a standard for graphics programming. Which would mean that now all graphics applications would have to be constrained by a standardized imposed system, which you are not guaranteed that people will even follow when implementing their own graphics applications... so in the end, USD doesnt solve any problems, it just offers a new format and tooling that you could implement literally for any other format ever. In short, its not a feature of USD, its a characteristic of the programs, and you could use any other open format for the same purpose...
