Universal Scene Description (USD) is an open and extensible ecosystem for describing, composing, simulating, and collaborating within 3D worlds, originally invented by Pixar Animation Studios.
Thanks to its design and features, USD is poised to be the open standard that enables the 3D evolution of the internet - the metaverse.
USD encompasses a collection of fundamental tools and capabilities accelerating workflows, teams, and projects, whether you are creating assets and environments for large-scale, connected virtual worlds or building the tools that will make these worlds possible.
