I'm looking for a way to render USD files (pretty much the same way as .ass files):
> usdkick -o my_image.exr my_usd_file.usd
Is there something like that? Or is it planned for the future? If not, how could I write my own?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks, @Pal. Seriously? This can be used with Arnold? I guess it has to find the Hydra Render Delegate for Arnold to work, right? Or how does it know which renderer to use?
Yes, it should work with the render delegate. All you need to do is configure the Arnold render delegate, as you do for usdview, and you can tell usdrecord to use Arnold.
I did some tests, and it worked ok for me, but we still haven't started using usdrecord in our testsuite. So if you find some issues, please let us know.
I also forgot that you can directly render USD files using kick. Thanks to the new scene format API, .ass is not the only thing kick can render anymore.
