>USD workflow
it works like this:
1. FED prints money
2. FED sees inflation due because of that
3. FED prints even more money
4. Repeat

USD makes your life a lot easier, but only houdini has a good implementation

What is that? I remember googling it one day but I feel like I didn't understand. And desu I just re-watched the Nvidia video on it and I still don't get it

whenever nvidia talks about it it's like they're deliberately trying to make it sound like some magic unknowable thing that going to allow them to print money for their investors in the future.

here's a more practical talk:

warning, there's a lot of jargon.

Just like they do with Omniverse pretty much.
I still have no clue what the fuck Omniverse is supposed to be.
A collab tool that only works in engine and not other usefl softwares? A 3d modelling program? Face mocap? Asset browser?
Even looking on the page for it, they don't even seem to know what the fuck it is or how it should be used.
Do any studios/individuals actually use it for anything?

as far as i can tell omniverse is a suite of tools, mostly of no interest to me. i think they all use USD to bring data in and maybe keep it as USD data?

this looks like the equivalent to houdini's stage/lops i.e. a usd based scene assembly environment.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/omniverse/apps/create/

it looks like a hydra viewport because 'storm' is available, but i don't think they support other render engines (hydra delegates) yet. nor are their own renderers available as hydra delegates afaik. it would be nice to have those available in other places tb h.

this i think is just the viewport without the assembly stuff?

guessing if anyone's using this stuff it's people doing non-entertainment viz or using the machine learning parts of it?
