Hello,
I am trying to export assets from my USD Scene by selecting them in the stage browser then saving them but no textures/materials come with them.
Are there any export tools that can do this??
Thanks
When you say “export”, do you just mean save as to a new file, or do you actually want to “Export” them to another file format? The best way to “collect” a scene or just an asset is to use the Collect Tool from the menu as “File > Collect”. You can collect is as is, with the same file structure, or you can collect is “flat” meaning it optimizes the asset into a simple usd file and subfolder of textures.
My apologies I didn’t explain my situation very well.
I have a USD file containing thousands of assets (A hospital building) and I want to extract a hospital bed from one of the rooms for another project.
the medical bed is made of many components as it is fully sim-ready.
I can’t export it by itself with it’s textures. I want to export it as a USD file for it to be used in another Isaac Sim project. so it would be an Omniverse to Omniverse export except between scenes as they are all inside a single USD
Ok I see. “Save Selected” only saves the asset as a new usd file. It does not save or send any textures anywhere. You have to then open that file by itself and then use “File > Collect” to collect all of the texture assets that go with it.
Here is another method. This is just a temporary hack, but it works great. Save the file so you have the file backed up. Then delete everything else. Just leave the bed there by itself. Then use “save as” from the menu to save just the hospital bed by itself. But again, remember it will just save only the usd file. Not the actual textures. You have to then open that file and use “Collect” to collect all of the textures that go with it.
This is the current workflow I have! I’m glad it’s a good solution for now.
This is probably a separate thread I need to create, do you think this workflow would be easy to automate? Maybe make an extension that leaves only the prim selected and automatically collects and saves? Any help with the right documentation would be appreciated!
