Chapter 1 — Introduction to OpenUSD and Scene Description
OpenUSD supports multiple file formats for different purposes. The most common are the human-readable .usda format and the compact binary .usdc format. The text format is useful for learning and debugging, while the binary format is optimized for performance and large scenes.
Example: Text USD format (.usda)
#usda 1.0
def Xform "Scene"

def Xform "Object"
