USD | Referencing an explicit layer not found on publish

Wouter · 26 February 2026 19:07

I am trying to get USD publish working for explicit Houdini layers. It all seems fine; the publisher is able to pick up and find all layers, with the exception of if the explicit layer that are getting referenced. This does not necessarily throw an error, but it means these layers are not tracked, and therefore the resolver can’t pick up these layers when rendering on a farm. I was wondering what the correct way is to handle this?

For example, the publisher is not picking up the geo layer.
