The Bifrost-USD Lab pack is a collection of compounds and browser graphs providing functionality related to USD. The browser graphs are divided into two sections. Examples, which demonstrate various Bifrost-USD workflows such as instancing, “purposes”, converting strands to USD, and writing animated geometry to a USD file. The second section, Glossary, is a Bifrost version of the Pixar USD glossary.
