USD Admin Docs
Currently, there's no need to install the ayon-usd addon to utilize our USD workflow outlined in our USD Artist Docs.
The base functionality is implemented in the ayon-core addon and each DCC specific workflow is implemented in its related DCC addon. e.g. Houdini USD workflow is implemented in ayon-houdini.
For the future, it is considered to move all the USD bits into ayon-usd addon in a similar fashion to ayon-deadline addon.
USD Addon Settings
Currently, the usd addon is only responsible for downloading of USD binaries for AYON, along with pre-built AYON USD resolvers for various DCCs.
The snippet below is from an early version of the USD add-on, which is still in development.
USD Workflow Settings
The USD workflow settings are currently limited. You can customize only the names and order of department layers at this stage.

Hover over the Order field for more details on the strength ordering:
- Higher order means a higher strength and stacks the layer on top.
- Opinions from a layer that is on top are stronger than those below it.
- See the USD acronym LIVRPS for more details on USD's strength ordering.
