usd-build

Build the Pixar Universal Scene Description system and Maya USD plugin.

Prepare the image

docker build --rm -t usd-build .

Build the USD system

Create a new build directory and execute the commands from there.

Make sure to install the Pixar RenderMan before building the USD system so that the $RMANTREE environment variable points to RenderManProServer directory.

Execute this command to build the USD system in your build directory:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):c:/build" -v "$(echo $env:RMANTREE):c:/prman" usd-build python c:/usd/build_scripts/build_usd.py --openvdb --openimageio --opencolorio --alembic --hdf5 --prman --prman-location "c:/prman" c:/build/usd

Alternatively, run the interactive shell for USD

Create a new build directory and execute the commands from there.

Make sure to install the Pixar RenderMan before building the USD system so that the $RMANTREE environment variable points to RenderManProServer directory.

Execute this command from the Powershell console:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):c:/build" -v "$(echo $env:RMANTREE):c:/prman" usd-build

You may want to run the USD build command manually inside the interactive Powershell:

python c:/usd/build_scripts/build_usd.py --openvdb --openimageio --opencolorio --alembic --hdf5 --prman --prman-location "c:/prman" c:/build/usd

Build Maya USD plugin

Build the USD system first.

Make sure to download Maya devkit into your build directory and name it "devkit".

Execute this command to build Maya USD plugin in your build directory:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd):c:/build" -v "c:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020:c:/maya" usd-build python c:/maya-usd/build.py -v 3 --maya-location c:/maya --pxrusd-location c:/build/usd --devkit-location c:/build/devkit --install-location c:/build/usdplugin --build-args="-DBUILD_ADSK_PLUGIN=ON" --generator="Visual Studio 16 2019" c:/build/workspace
