  • Pixar, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and NVIDIA form Alliance for OpenUSD to drive open standards for 3D content - I took a look at some examples that I found in an HN thread discussing OpenUSD and I have to admit it doesn't make much sense to me. It just looks like Python subroutines. Still it's good to see that open standards in this space are being developped, because it appears as though 3D content is going to start appearing in many more places in the next few years, especially with the introduction of the Vision Pro from Apple next year. And Pixar have the most experience working with 3D assets at scale. It will be interesting to see if the 3D workflows they have built translate well to other types of content creators.www.apple.com #

  • Apple have released a Vision OS developer kit. Looks like you can apply and if they like your project they'll send you a free Vision Pro headset. Kind of cool. developer.apple.com #
