Hey Folks,

Now that USD 20.x is released, is there a plan to switch from USD 19.11 to 20.x?
Will this version of USD only be available in the Python 3 variant of Houdini?

Thanks!

Is there a special step to access it?

Using Houdini 18.0.450 / Python 3:

Both Py2 and Py3 versions of the next major release will use USD 20.05 or later.

Both Py2 and Py3 versions of Houdini 18.0 will continue to use USD 19.11, which does not really include full python3 support. But USD isn't the only part of Houdini 18.0 that is lacking in this regard. The python3 version of Houdini 18.0 is only a “tech preview”. It is not meant for production use.
