USD: export to a single root prim by default #113187

Closed
Michael B Johnson wants to merge 8 commits from wave/blender_wave_Apple:single_root_io into main

When changing the target branch, be careful to rebase the branch in your fork to match. See documentation.

This PR adds the following changes:

  • A single root is always set as default. After talking to Wave and Spiff, we settled on root being the best default. Users who don't want a single root prim inserted, can choose to clear the field
  • The root prim no longer requires the user to prefix the field with /. It will implicitly insert that for them.
  • On export, the root_prim hierarchy is now defined all as Xform instead of just the final prim in the path. Each prim also has custom metadata added to show that it was generated by Blender. This follows convention in other DCCs as well.
  • On import, the code now finds the hierarchy of generated prims using that metadata. It then skips importing them. This means that you can roundtrip hierarchies even with an inserted root.

nullptr,
"root",

Maybe the default string should be "/root", so we don't have to prepend the leading slash each time?

Changed! Thanks for that note

If you don't mind, can you please run 'make format' to fix the formatting, please?

Otherwise, apart from the minor comment regarding adding a leading slash to the default root path, this looks good!

Reminder to use BLI_snprintf which ensures null termination instead of snprintf, committed fix to main.
