Are you ready to build the future of the 3D internet? If you’re preparing for the  Certified Professional – OpenUSD Development (NCP-OUSD) exam, this is your definitive guide to mastering the framework that is revolutionizing 3D workflows and generative AI.

OpenUSD (Universal Scene Description) is the foundational technology for describing, composing, and simulating the 3D world. It’s the “HTML of the metaverse,” enabling complex, collaborative, and interoperable 3D pipelines across a wide range of industries, from visual effects and gaming to architecture and industrial digital twins. The NCP-OUSD certification proves you have the critical skills to develop with this groundbreaking technology.

This course is your comprehensive resource for mastering every objective on the NCP-OUSD exam. We provide a deep dive into the OpenUSD framework, from its core composition principles to advanced application development with Python and C++.

You will master critical topics, including:

• OpenUSD Fundamentals: Understand the core principles of USD, including prims, properties, layers, and composition arcs.

• Python & C++ APIs: Learn to programmatically create, manipulate, and inspect USD scenes using the core APIs.

• Hydra & Rendering: Understand the Hydra rendering framework for creating custom render delegates and visualizing scenes.

• Connectors & Interoperability: Learn how to build connectors to integrate USD with existing tools and workflows.

Packed with detailed lessons, code examples, and practice questions that mirror the actual exam, this course will equip you with the knowledge to earn your certification and become a leader in the next generation of 3D development.
