Tiny USD

July 19, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

A tutorial on creating the smallest possible viable USD program, using the dev branch of the official usd distribution.

Note that this currently highly work in progress, the mac recipe is the only one fully worked for cmake. The windows recipe still uses build_usd.py, and ubuntu remains a struggle.

Help wanted!
