The discussion mainly went over future Blender 3.6 targets, Sonny will create a task to keep track of these.
- Sonny created a pull request for the new curves export feature, review is ongoing, could use some more eyes still.
- Hydra? MacOS/MaterialX may still be pain points, but Brian thinks that 3.6 is still a realistic target, as least as an experimental feature. Dhruv notes that a Metal version of MaterialX has been released.
- USD library version update? The team will make a decision in the comming 2-3 weeks, since the platform maintainers need some time to work on it in case an update is requested.
