Is this just because blender support isn't quite there yet?

You're right that in it's current state USD in Blender isn't optimal. The main advantage now is not having to re-import and export in apps like Substance, Unreal or USD Composer. Blender's USD support is lagging behind and doesn't work natively, which is why it's not perfect yet. You can get the textures to work as well in Blender, but you have to set them up after Substance manually AND everytime you change stuff in Substance you'll have to reload the textures in Blender since Blender doesn't support auto texture reloads currently. Still it really beats the old workflow for me, since it's so easy to make changes in Blender, auto-update that in e.g. USD Composer and Unreal, Substance and then be able to texture it right away and have those textures reflect in USD composer or Unreal as well! NVIDIA is working, through Omniverse, to get a complete live-link going with Blender, since Blender themselves have a lower prio on this, and once they have that up and running doing everything in all the apps simultaneously should be no issue anymore!

Honestly, for 3d modelling, if you are good using one of the 3 softwares (maya, 3DS Max & Blender), you can use pretty much any of the three, you'll just need 2-3 weeks of acclimatization when starting out. After all an exrtude is an extrude, a bevel is a bevel (hemm, chamfer 3ds max ?) a spline is a spline, a bend is a bend, etc. You'll need to get used to the UI but the different tools are usually very similar, they might just have different names. If they don't want to hire you because you've used Maya AND Blender but not 3ds...there might be something else going on.

@KaizenTutorials

The USD file still comes with attached folders that contain relevant data like textures. By using proper naming conventions it can tell Blender to look for those textures. Now this doesn't work perfectly yet as you'll still need to setup the textures in Blender manually. But after that it works and if you change stuff in Substance you can reload the textures in Blender (sadly not automatically... sigh Blender) and the textures will update. Setting it up in blender is just a matter of CTRL+SHIFT+T for the principled setup and selecting the textures that are in the folder where your USD file is also saved and you're good to go from that point on!

A USD crate file will be smaller but comparable in size to a binary FBX. USD reduces file size by making assumptions about missing data instead of writing out default values to the file. However the USD file will carry PBR textures with it while FBX will not.

It kind of depends on what tool you use. Not every tool supports USD obviously and most who do don't support it in two directions YET. Having said that if you want to do your baking in Blender, Marmoset or Substance it's no problem. The process would remain exactly the same and all that data can be transferred using USD.

The fact that Sybren implemented this early on shows how dedicated Blender is to giving us all the the best options before other software; even if they don't have all the new relevant information of a single variant of USD as there have been a few before the alliance was confirmed. This is the main reason Blender hasn't been updated fully as there was no specific agreements of which variant was going to be standardised! so it not fair on Blender when people hark on it's difference in applied USD, it's like when people complain about Blender FBX or OBJ import/export, they do not control it, they have to go with the information they can glean from the source which has been closed source or obscured or out of date.

And btw you can't just give an example that the workflow is now non destructive, that is in no way true... It's still the same workflow and has the same flaws. It's cool to have real time changes without having to export and reimport all the time yes, but any changes to the model and then you gotta retexture again for example. I don't believe in a non-destructive workflow using different softwares or even using the same software unless everything is kinda proceduarly generated and linked in a magical way...

I have to say I disagree. 'they' are just companies working on their own solutions for problems they saw in a market. These problems are unique and so require unique solutions, which tend to not work on other problems (unique = non-compatible). USD was initially also not there to fix this. It was there to fix Pixar's own problems. But since it grew and was released as open-source, other programmes started including it. This lead to the formation of AOUSD, which is a NON-PROFIT organization aiming to now take this unique solution and adapt it to fix everyone's problems.

In this case, universal scene description is open source so it's free, but it's not really an immediate magical fix to anything as much as it's a way to describe the structure of a whole scene. It came out in 2016, and a lot of studios had a very difficult time implementing it. Some packages like Unreal don't even fully support it, and it's really mostly used in linear content pipelines like film and animation.

@@KaizenTutorials As others mentioned, it is also the fact that instead of digging more into the format itself, the video oriented more to nvidia and other solutions. But, again, it is the overwhelming title more than the rest that stands out. I get your comparison to phones, given though the complexity and structure of each programme, "non destructive" can never be accomplished, unless a very smart AI feature recogniser is introduced, that translates all objects and their features into editable nodes. I see it more like a dramatic workflow enhancer, but aren't the near perfect realtime importers/synchers like Twinmotion or Unreal LiveSync, or the wonderful Speckle for BIM, already revolutions? We went from hours or days of exporting to single clicks. Substance was a lso a big leap in texture creation workflow and synching, especially that many programmes and realtime engines natively support them. Unreal itself is the revolution. Nanite and Lumen especially really changed 3D forever. Complex scenes can be rendered (if you have the knowledge and skills) in realtime, with outstanding visual fidelity. So i would suggest to keep bold phrases to where they fit only, or we completely loose scale of things and accomplishments. Think about university grades. Personally, if i was ever a teacher, i would reserve anyrhing above 9/10 for seriously gifted students, amd 9.9 for geniuses. 10 would be never an option.

This lead to the formation of AOUSD and with major tech companies founding that their goal is to have USD be the 1 format for most stuff 3D. And that's something I think could very well be done and inspires me!

The om versions are alse updated too frequently, and I haven't reviewed the user terms for every version.

It's the other way around. Files can't be compatible with your software, the software has to be compatible with your file.

What the file CAN do however, is have all the bits and bobs saved in a generic enough way that it makes it easier for the software developers to write an import-export function.

Technically yes, practically, not so much. Case in point: Just about nothing can read .Blend files from Blender, and the things that _can_ do it badly, usually just some small subset of basic information. It's not impossible to do. But it is incredibly difficult. Why? Because .blend files are internally actually a representation of nearly Blender's entire memory layout as it's running. That means that .blend is incredibly tightly linked to Blender's source code and the way that blender works. So reading a .blend file flawlessly? It's not quite re-implementing _all_ of blender... but it's not far off. Reading and writing the whole blend file in a meaningful way is basically remaking all of Blender itself from scratch. I would argue that .blend files are an example of a filetype being technologically incompatible with software, it only truly works with Blender itself. This is not an uncommon thing in 3D software. I'll provide another sticking point - sometimes, things are lost in translation. It's very common for there not to be a one to one mapping between concepts in different software, and for it to actually be impossible to transfer from one to the other because there really just isn't a corresponding feature. Here's some examples: Material nodes in Blender mean something totally different from what material nodes mean in Unreal Engine. Even if UE5 could read a .Blend file, it couldn't use the materials in it, since they just don't work the way that unreal engine's materials work (unless both UE5 and Blender agree to stick to a standard, like PBR materials). They are legitimately incompatible, for real technical reasons. Another example, animation drivers and rigs that use them are complete nonsense anywhere outside of Blender, since they literally grab data from addresses based on Blender's internal structure. File formats can very much be incompatible with your software and it's very possible for it to be utterly impractical to write software that can read and write them. All that needs to happen is that your file format needs to reach a certain level of complexity, and then it becomes nearly inevitable.
@MustacheMerlin
7 ай бұрын
OH! I thought of another one - _LISP._ This is pretty common in CAD software, especially the really old ones that have been around for a few decades. See, what LISP is - it's an entire programming language, AND a file format. The big thing with Lisp is that they treat code itself as data, and can store data as programming code. If your file format is lisp based, that's a real pickle. Because that means that reading it is going to involve re-implementing an _entire programming language_ from scratch. Usually one that's totally proprietary and completely undocumented. (AutoCAD does this)

@@MustacheMerlin You wrote a lot and usually I just tldr, but wanted to let you know I appreciate it because it was insightful. It reminded me how when I open a file I'm working on in Blender, the viewport is exactly where I left it. This is only to better my experience in Blender itself and has no bearing on the next program. From my experience with Blend to Unity and Godot, their importers are not bad if you're not expecting anything advanced. I could be wrong, I don't do this professionally, it almost seems equivalent to an fbx. It seems like a chicken or the egg challenge, where a standard format needs to exist like USD to ensure file formats can be interoperable. What would really impress me is data that is USD exportable is tagged that way, in a way that another program can take the .blend file and retrieve the USD tagged data.

This video feels less like it's about USD and more like it's an ad for Omniverse and Nvidia as a whole. While I don't mind sponsored segments (money is always nice to have) and NVIDIA isn't exactly an irrelevant sponsor, the integration here just felt hamfisted and coarse. Like specifically stating that Omniverse is *NVIDIA's* Omniverse, even when not stating *Adobe's* Substance Painter or *Autodesk's* Maya, the random out of place close up shot of a 4090 FE with the only real visible detail being the GeForce RTX branding, and constantly showing the Omniverse logo, more often even than the Blender logo. This isn't me trying to be a hater, just wanted to share my thoughts on the sponsor integration in hopes that future videos might have a clearer demarcation between sponsored and unsponsored content, preferably one that's easily skippable for people like me who have no interest whatsoever in any of NVIDIA's products.
