Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Pixar, Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and NVIDIA, together with the Joint Development Foundation, an affiliate of the Linux Foundation, today announced the Alliance for OpenUSD to promote the standardization, development, evolution, and growth of Pixar’s Universal Scene Description technology. The alliance seeks to standardize the 3D ecosystem by advancing the capabilities of Open Universal Scene Description. By promoting greater interoperability of 3D tools and data, the alliance will enable developers and content creators to describe, compose, and simulate large-scale 3D projects and build an ever-widening range of 3D-enabled products and services.
