Highlights
- Asset Resolver: The Autodesk USD Asset Resolver permits resolution of asset paths using environment variable and token strings within paths. This new USD Asset Resolver can be extended to include custom URI-based resolvers. (Available on Linux and Windows only.)
- Layer Data View: Users can now see the content of a selected layer data within the Layer Editor with a new Layer Data View. This can help users understand the content in a layer as well as debugging data.
- USD Importer: Added support for left-handed meshes. Previously support was poor and could bring in incorrect UVs or normals.
- USD Importer: Added option in the USD Importer UI to turn on the Euler Filter to fix some rotation problems.
- Lights: Enabled lighting and shadows with USD RectLight prims in Maya 2026.3+.
- Icons: Added new icons for various prim types that were missing icons, such as Class prims.
- Prim Creation: Added the ability to create a Class prim. Previously this we excluded from creation options.
- Prim Creation: Added Plane primitives as a default type users can create from the right-click menu.
- Material Export: Changed the default Material target from USD Preview Surface to MaterialX. This change affects new installations of Maya USD but does not affect existing installations.
