Learn how to connect with the Omniverse platform and be able to send data to it, establish a live sync session, as well as a USD 101 overview to get you started. This is primarily targeted at developers who want to learn how to create a plugin for an application and push data to Omniverse. However, the topic also applies to those seeking to write command line or scripted converters, as well as connecting Omniverse and a data management system. We'll start with an overview of USD structuring and some of the basics in geometry and materials. A tour of the Sample SDK, which is available on the Omniverse Launcher, will be discussed in detail. From there, we'll look at how we implemented a Connector for an application, like SketchUp, to discuss design considerations and material mapping and handling.
