Overview of AYON Usd Resolver
The AYON Usd Resolver is a tool that enables the resolution of Ayon URIs and the pinning of files using Pixar's Open USD. It provides two primary capabilities:
- URI Resolution: Ensures USD scenes are highly portable by allowing the server to track file storage locations, enabling scenes to be opened with absolute resolved paths regardless of the user's location.
- Pinning Support: Optimizes USD performance at render farm scale by using pinned files as a cache for the resolver. This removes the requirement for constant communication with the Ayon Server, preventing the bottlenecks typically associated with URI-based resolvers in large-scale environments.
