Binding Materials

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to assign a material, change a material, set material binding, or swap materials on a prim.

Inputs

Resolve inputs in this order: existing repository files and referenced snippets, explicit user request, then broader agent context.

• Target API surface: Python, C/C++, USD, or a combination.
• Geometry prim path or paths that should receive the material binding.
• Existing material prim path, relationship write timing, and whether the workflow is static USD or runtime API code.
• Whether the material is visual-only, sensor-facing nonvisual metadata, or both.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
