- Rendering in Blender via the USD Hydra Framework. This is a middle layer for renderers, meaning that once a renderer is adapted to Hydra, it can work in many places including this addon for rendering. Known Hydra render delegates are:
- AMD's Radeon ProRender (included)
- Hydra's default Storm delegate (included)
- Intel Embree (cpu) delegate (included with USD/Hydra)

- Pixar RenderMan delegate.

In short, this addon will allow an artist or studio to assembled and compose USD data with Blender data, and render it all using various renderers via Hydra

### Materials via MaterialX
### Materials via MaterialX (TODO)
The correct way to interchange materials via USD is an open-ended question. The only built-in material nodes to USD are a simple USDPreviewSurface (very similar to Blender's Principled BSDF) and nodes to read textures. This is insufficient of course for complex materials. However, the MaterialX standard has emerged as a good interchange format for node-based materials with support from various applications such as Adobe Substance and various Autodesk Applications. Many renderers use their own nodes, but many can also support OSL shaders, which MaterialX can produce.

Therefore the material solution in the USD Hydra addon uses MaterialX. Here's a quick guide to materials:
