USD Asset Pipeline

Purpose

Discover assets, measure bounds and shaders, swap placeholders, correct offsets, and validate headless shader compatibility before rendering.

Prerequisites

• For standalone USD inspection/authoring: a completed source/libraries build or matching installed foundation distributions.
• For live Kit stages, asset services, MDL, or rendering: built Isaac Sim and the environment from isaac-sim-orchestrator; GPU needs are route-specific.

Limitations

• Targets Isaac Sim 6 / Kit 110 unless a section states otherwise.
• Does not replace official NVIDIA documentation for unsupported edge cases.
