karma working in obj context?

Looks like something like that, I guess we will have to wait until next week for some answers

SideFX confirmed that Karma ROP is just a wrapper for the Scene Import LOP into USD, since Karma is a USD render engine. I'm assuming they invested quite heavily in the Scene Import LOP having parity with OBJ context for H19?

I interpreted the Karma ROP like "Yes, it's still based on USD but we take care of it for you. The conversion is in the background as ifds for Mantra". Thought it was a method to make the transition smoother to the stage context.

Ouch. I was hoping for too much
