I see there's a USD preview surface VOP in the Houdini 17 USD plugins compile. I've been working with USDZ of late for AR stuff and I'd be super efficient if I could shade them using the VOP and have that network export into the USD. Right now I'm using a Python/Arnold material conversion script driven by a button in a HDA. So it's a two step process of export the USD then hit the Add Shading button.

If this is possible in the current version of Houdini then I'd be keen to see a hip showing off the network to achieve this. Thanks
