USD-QtPy PyPI - Version

Python Qt components for building custom USD tools.

How to use?

The Qt components can be embedded in your own Qt interfaces and usually have a stage entrypoint that you should pass a pxr.Usd.Stage instance.

However, a simple example Editor UI is also available to run standalone.

USD Editor

If you have the usd_qtpy package you can for example run it like:

python -m usd_qtpy "/path/to/file.usd"

Want to try it within your running Python session it should be as trivial to do:

from pxr import Usd
from qtpy import QtWidgets
from usd_qtpy.editor import EditorWindow

filepath = "/path/to/file.usd"
stage = Usd.Stage.Open(filepath)

app = QtWidgets.QApplication()
dialog = EditorWindow(stage=stage)
dialog.resize(600, 600)
dialog.show()
app.exec_()

Or if you have a running QApplication instance (e.g. when inside Maya):

from pxr import Usd
from usd_qtpy.editor import EditorWindow

filepath = "/path/to/file.usd"
stage = Usd.Stage.Open(filepath)

dialog = EditorWindow(stage=stage)
dialog.resize(600, 600)
dialog.show()

Why not Luma Picture's usd-qt?

Unlike Luma Pictures's usd-qt this repository tries to be easily redistributable by avoiding the need for extra C++ dependencies and solely use the USD Python API. This will keep the build matrix simpler but does mean the repository is not - by design - built for highly optimized large scale applications. Nonetheless, the intent is still to be able to carry average VFX scenes for debugging.

install

from pip

python -m pip install usd-qtpy

from repo

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/BigRoy/usd-qtpy.git@main

Dependencies

The Viewer utilities are basically using usdviewq which may or may not be included in your build. This also requires PyOpenGL. However, the other tools do not and are intended to rely solely on USD core and Qt itself.

  • qtpy
  • usd-core (when not using your own usd builds, install with [usd])
  • PyOpenGL (needed for usd viewport, install with [usdview]; you will still need use a custom usd build yourself for pxr.Usdviewq dependency)
