When I drop down a USD ROP LOP in the /stage context, the Output File path defaults to $HIP/geo.

Whereas this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkAomflMmjI [www.youtube.com]

...references USD paths such as $HIP/Library/Layout, etc.

Is there any documentation on recommended directory structure/naming convention for USD?
Especially if one of the purposes/benefits of USD is to be digital content creation app-agnostic.

Since USD can store much more than just geometry, shouldn't it default to a directory other than $HIP/geo?

Thanks

I would be interested in that as well. Currently I am going for a $HIP/usd/file.usd approach and create further subfolders to organize different branches.
I also modified the USD ROP and the sublayer LOP to have a version slider similar to the new File SOP.
That’s working fine as I rarely have to interface with the actual directories but I would love to know if there are smarter ways.

Every studio will have their own conventions. You're free to save the output wherever you want.
