USD file from Houdini to Touchdesigner

Bugs

Hello

I’m trying to import an .USD file from Houdini (18.0.597) to Touchdesigner (2020.26630). I’m on a Windows 10 machine.
But the USD comp is saying: “Error: Unable to import USD file.”

I’ve gone through most combinations of export settings on the Houdini side, but nothing will open.
I can open the files successfully in other software such as Unreal 4.

I’ve attached an example of a file I exported from houdini:
USD_TEST_1.zip (5.8 KB)

This appears to be a versioning bug. When I try it in 40k (which has the latest USD SDK version) it imports without errors. This is not yet in a released experimental build but will be in the next one (build # 2020.42050+).

We don’t have any plans to upgrade the SDK in 20k so if you need to import that USD file I recommend using the next 40k build we release.

Okay. Thank you for the response. I’m looking forward to the updated SDK then :slight_smile:
