Miêu Tả Cảnh Phổ Thông (Universal Scene Description)

Xuất Ra Tập Tin USD (Exporting to USD Files)

Universal Scene Description (USD) files can contain complex layering, overriding, and references to other files. Blender's USD Exporter takes a much simpler approach. When exporting, all visible, supported objects in the scene are exported, optionally limited by their selection state. Blender does not (yet) support exporting invisible objects, USD layers, variants, skeletal animation, etc.

Những kiểu dữ liệu hỗ trợ bao gồm:

• Meshes (of different kinds, see below).

• Cameras (perspective cameras only at the moment, not orthogonal ones).

• Light (all types except area lights).

• Hair (exported as curves, and limited to parent strands).

When exporting an animation, the final, evaluated mesh is written to USD. This means that the following meshes can be exported:

• Static meshes.

• Deforming meshes; here the topology of the mesh does not change, but the locations of the vertices change over time. Examples are animated characters or bouncing (but not cracking) objects.

• Arbitrarily animated meshes; here the topology does change. An example is the result of a fluid simulation, where splashes of fluid can break off the main body.

• Metaballs are exported as animated meshes.

Các Tùy Chọn về Xuất Khẩu (Export Options)

The following options are available when exporting to USD:

Duy Lựa Chọn (Selection Only)

When checked, only selected objects are exported. Instanced objects, for example collections that are instanced in the scene, are considered 'selected' when their instancer is selected.

Duy Hữu Hình (Visible Only)

Only exports objects that are not hidden. Invisible parents of exported objects are exported as empty transforms.

Animation (Hoạt Họa)

When checked, the entire scene frame range is exported. When unchecked, only the current scene frame is exported.

Tóc/Lông (Hair)

When checked, parent hair strands are exported as a curve system. Hair strand colors are not exported.

Ánh Xạ UV (UV Maps)

When checked, includes UV coordinates for exported meshes. The name of the UV map in USD is the same as the name in Blender. In USD the default name is st whereas in Blender the default name is UVMap. To export to the standard UV map name st, rename the UV map in Blender to st.

Pháp Tuyến (Normals)

When checked, includes normals for exported meshes. This includes custom loop normals.

Nguyên Vật Liệu (Materials)

Exports material information of the object. By default the exporter approximates the BSDF Nguyên Tắc (Principled BSDF) node tree by converting it to USD's Preview Surface format. If To USD Preview Surface is disabled, the material is set to the viewport materials of meshes.

Additional material properties are set in the Material grouping of options.

When a mesh has multiple materials assigned, a geometry subset is created for each material. The first material (if any) is always applied to the mesh itself as well (regardless of the existence of geometry subsets), because the Hydra viewport does not support materials on subsets. See USD issue #542 for more information.

Sử Dụng các sắp đặt cho (Use Settings for)

Determines the whether to use Viewport or Render visibility of collection, modifiers, or any other property that can be set for both the Viewport and Render.

Nguyên Vật Liệu (Materials)

Additional options when Materials are enabled for export.

To USD Preview Surface

When exporting materials, approximate a BSDF Nguyên Tắc (Principled BSDF) node tree to by converting it to USD's Preview Surface format. If disabled, the material is set to the viewport materials of meshes.

Cảnh báo

Not all nodes are supported; currently only Diffuse, Principle, Image Textures, and UVMap nodes are support.

Xuất Khẩu Chất Liệu (Export Textures)

Export textures referenced by shader nodes to a "textures" folder which in the same directory as the USD file.

Ghi Đè Chất Liệu (Overwrite Textures)

Allow overwriting existing texture files when exporting textures.

Relative Texture Paths

Make texture asset paths relative to the exported USD file.

Thử Nghiệm (Experimental)

Thực Thể Hóa (Instancing)

As this is an experimental option. When unchecked, duplicated objects are exported as real objects, so a particle system with 100 particles that is displayed with 100 meshes will have 100 individual meshes in the exported file. When checked, duplicated objects are exported as a reference to the original object. If the original object is not part of the export, the first duplicate is exported as real object and used as reference.

Những Giới Hạn của Trình Xuất Khẩu (Exporter Limitations)

Khung Lưới Một Mặt Bên và Hai Mặt (Single-sided and Double-sided Meshes)

USD seems to support neither per-material nor per-face-group double-sidedness, so Blender uses the flag from the first material to mark the entire mesh as single/double-sided. If there is no material it defaults to double-sided.

Các Pháp Tuyến của Khung Lưới (Mesh Normals)

The mesh subdivision scheme in USD is 'Catmull-Clark' by default, but Blender uses 'None' instead, indicating that a polygonal mesh is exported. This is necessary for USD to understand the custom normals; otherwise the mesh is always rendered smooth.

Tốc Lực của Điểm Đỉnh (Vertex Velocities)

Currently only fluid simulations (not meshes in general) have explicit vertex velocities. This is the most important case for exporting velocities, though, as the baked mesh changes topology all the time, and thus computing the velocities at import time in a post-processing step is hard.

Định Hướng của Hệ Thống Tọa Độ (Coordinate System Orientation)

Blender uses the Z axis as up axis. Since USD supports both Y up and Z up, the USD files written by Blender always use Z up.

Nguyên Vật Liệu (Materials)

Very simple versions of the materials are exported, using only the Hiển thị của Cổng Nhìn (Viewport Display) color, metallic, and roughness.

When there are multiple materials, the mesh faces are stored as geometry subset and each material is assigned to the appropriate subset. If there is only one material this is skipped. Note that the geometry subsets are not time-sampled, so it may break when an animated mesh changes topology.

Tóc/Lông (Hair)

Only the parent strands are exported, and only with a constant color. No UV coordinates, and no information about the normals.

Máy Quay Phim (Camera)

Only perspective cameras are exported.

Đèn/Nguồn/Ánh Sáng (Lights)

USD does not directly support spot lights, so those are not exported.

Hạt (Particles)

Particles are only written when they are alive, which means that they are always visible. There is currently no code that deals with marking them as invisible outside their lifespan.

Objects instanced by particle system are exported by suffixing the object name with the particle's persistent ID, giving each particle transform a unique name.

Thực Thể Hóa/Tham Chiếu Hóa (Instancing/Referencing)

This is still an experimental feature that can be enabled when exporting to USD. When enabled, instanced object meshes are written to USD as references to the original mesh. The first copy of the mesh is written for real, and the following copies are referencing the first. Which mesh is considered 'the first' is chosen more or less arbitrarily.

Nhập Khẩu Tập Tin POV-Ray (Importing USD Files)

USD files typically represent the scene as a hierarchy of primitives, or prims. Individual prims contain data to describe scene entities, such as geometry, lights, cameras and transform hierarchies. Blender's USD importer converts USD prims to a hierarchy of Blender objects. Like the USD exporter, the importer does not yet handle more advanced USD concepts, such as layers and references.

Những kiểu dữ liệu hỗ trợ bao gồm:

• Máy Quay Phim (Cameras)

• Đường Cong (Curves)

• Đèn/Nguồn/Ánh Sáng (Lights)

• Nguyên Vật Liệu (Materials)

• Khung Lưới (Meshes)

• Âm Lượng (Volume)

For more information on how the various data types are handled, see the following descriptions of the Import Options.

Hình Học Cơ Bản Nền Tảng Macro (Xform and Scope Primitives)

USD provides an Xform prim type, containing transform data, which can be used to represent transform hierarchies and to organize the scene. Such Xform prims are imported as Blender empty objects.

USD also supports Scope primitives, which are entities that do not contain transform data, but which serve to group other element of the scene. Blender doesn't have an exact counterpart to the concept of a scope, so such primitives are imported as Blender empties located at the origin. This is an imperfect representation, because empty objects have a transform and Scopes do not, but this approach nonetheless helps preserve the structure of the scene hierarchy.

Hoạt Họa (Animations)

The importer supports two types of animation:

• Animating transforms: If a USD primitive has time-varying transform data, a Transform Cache constraint will be added to the imported Blender object.

• Animating geometry: Animating mesh and curve geometry is supported by adding a Mesh Sequence Cache modifier to the imported data. Geometry attribute (USD Primvar) animation is currently supported only for Color Attributes and UVs. Note that USD file sequences (i.e. a unique file per frame) are not yet supported.

Nguyên Vật Liệu (Materials)

If a USD mesh or geometry subset has a bound material, the importer will assign to the Blender object a material with the same name as the USD material. If a Blender material with the same name already exists in the scene, the existing material will be assigned. Otherwise, a new material will be created.

If the USD material has a USD Preview Surface shader source, the Hiển thị của Cổng Nhìn (Viewport Display) color, metallic, and roughness are set to the corresponding USD Preview Surface input values.

There is also an experimental Import USD Preview option to convert USD Preview Surface shaders to Blender Principled BSDF shader nodes. This option can be lossy, as it does not yet handle converting all shader settings and types, but it can generate approximate visualizations of the materials.

Định Hướng của Hệ Thống Tọa Độ (Coordinate System Orientation)

If the imported USD is Y up, a rotation will be automatically applied to root objects to convert to Blender's Z up orientation.
