Created by Pixar Animation Studios, OpenUSD is a high-performance 3D scene description technology that offers robust interoperability across tools, data, and workflows. The strength and adaptability of OpenUSD make it the perfect content platform to meet the demands of new markets and applications.
OpenUSD is known for its capacity to collectively capture artistic expression and streamline cinematic content production.
The alliance is said to develop written specifications detailing the features of OpenUSD. As a result, there will be increased compatibility, wider adoption, integration, and implementation, and other standards organisations will be able to include in their specifications. The Linux Foundation’s JDF was chosen to house the project, as it will enable open, efficient, and effective development of OpenUSD specifications while providing a path to recognition through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Additionally, AOUSD will serve as the main forum for the industry’s collective definition of technological advancements. In addition to this, collaboration expands an open invitation to a wide range of companies and organizations to join and take part in determining the direction of OpenUSD.
