Activision just released the huge Call of Duty Warzone level 'Caldera' in a USD scene format, and so you may have seen a lot of talk about USD as a 3D file format.

If you're wondering what USD is, and how it works, I have an easy 10 minute video explainer right here:

What is USD? An explanation for Artists & Designers in 10 minutes (Version 2)
USD example vehicles can be downloaded here: https://rystorm.com/blog/usd-example-assets-v1-1 This video specifically tries to explain the workflows and uses of USD, without going into too much technical detail. So that a non-technical artist, and a non-technical designer, can understand what it is, what it does, and why folks are using it.
