OpenUSD

First successful import of the USD kitchen sample file.

Developing this required taking a round about approach. The USD API is 64bit so it can't be used with trueSpace. USD can use Python, but truespace python is way too old to use it. The trick was to create a 64bit activex server that can be called from the 32bit truespace script. After that the python usd tutorials had to be converted to c++ to understand how to use it. Finally, the USD API and ActiveX code was merged together so tS could read in the USD file via script.

There's a lot more to do and this is a good start.

Very crashy, but managed to get a screenshot with basic color values before tS crashed again.

If being a wizard means doing lots of hard work, then yes, I am a Wizard.

This shows texture and uv mapping working along with the texture coordinate shader.
Texture coordinate shader works for scale and move. Top 3 are move and the bottom middle is scale.
Bottom left is rotation and it's a bit off. It should point to the green checkbox.
Bottom right is a combination of rotation and scale. It's also off but by accident almost looks correct.

This shows alpha map opacity settings working and normal, metallic and roughness maps. Missing is occlusion maps. I don't have any sample files for that so will be skipping it for a while.
OpenUSD has support for MaterialX so I think reading that will be next. Almost half the sample files I found use it.
