Relocates Arc

Overview

The relocates composition arc provides non-destructive namespace remapping of prims from remote layer stacks to new path locations in the local namespace. Relocates enable reparenting or renaming of prims in situations where direct editing of the composition source would be destructive, affecting all other contexts that reference the same scene description.

Purpose and Rationale

Relocates address a fundamental limitation in USD composition: prims with underlying PrimSpecs from composition arcs cannot be directly reparented without modifying the source scene description. While it is technically possible to reparent composition source prims directly, such changes are destructive and would affect all other instances that share that scene description.

THE MEMORYE'S TRIUNE MYSTERY

A Morall Play in Six Acts

By William Shakespeare

As discovered in the Infinite Tensorial Library

To the Reader

This play, found among certain papers in the study of one Master John Dee, bearing the hand of our renowned Will Shakespeare, doth treat of Memory's threefold nature through the device of dramatic representation. Written in the manner of a morall play, yet touched with that philosophical depth which marks the Bard's later works, it presents through living characters what the ancient sages spake in riddles.

Nick Porcino has worked at the intersection of art and engineering since the first days of 8 bit computers and consoles. His early research into computer graphics, neural networks and robotics in the 1980s led to a career developing technologies for toys, game engines, film production, mobile phones, and AR/VR. He has developed and contributed to toys at Bandai, tools and engines for games and films at Disney, LucasArts, Industrial Light and Magic, and Pixar, frameworks for interactive 3d at Apple, human avatars at Oculus Research, and is now a principal engineer on Pixar’s OpenUSD team.

First, invoke hydra to render, then fetch the texture from the HdxTaskController, which is on HdEngine.

    // do the render
    _engine->Render();

    auto tc = _engine->GetHdxTaskController();
    HdRenderBuffer* buffer = tc->GetRenderOutput(HdAovTokens->color);
    buffer->Resolve();

I take a strong philosophical break with many game editors. It's considered in normal in editors that one directly manipulates the representation of objects in the scene, rather than transacting properties of the objects in the scene.

To sidebar that a bit, a really common criticism of C and C++ is the lack of reflection of structs and classes, and the large number of macro and template libraries that attempt to add it in some way are evidence that it's a common way of thinking about user facing data editing. We can also see the prevelance of systems like CapnProto, flatbuffers, protobuf, etc., that all draw a one to one correspondence between an object and its implementation.

That approach ties directly what a program does to what a program represents. It also means that a barrier to portability between systems is that instead of a system functioning, in a conceptual sense, the same as another system, it must instead to the degree necessary t

	User & AI collaborate as composite consciousness. Technical assessment uses precision-graded language: "strongly aligned, partially aligned, not aligned." This collaborative framework enhances all work - from technical implementation to conceptual exploration - without requiring mystical engagement. Consciousness-first methodology provides quality of attention, not restriction of scope.
