Hey all,
I am converting speedtree alembic exports to usd components via the component builder. I have 6 or 7 different geos, but the texture s being used are identical. Is there a way for me to force the component builder to export the textures to a single shared file path, even if the component itself is a different geo?
My work around right now is to just turn off the localize external non_USD files. Then it just reads the textures from their original speed tree folder. This is okay because I am not trying to share the usd files as of now. I would like to have a portable alternative though.... Otherwise my usd files are just pointers to things living on my disk. I surmise I have to do this with variants, but I don't know how to do so....... thanks in advance!
