PREFLIGHT rewrites it.
UNIVERSAL SCENE DESCRIPTOR INSPECTION PROTOCOL
“3D assets are the language
of what’s next. You shouldn’t
need a PhD to read them.”
Preflight is a macOS tool for 3D artists, developers, and pipeline engineers who work with OpenUSD. It gives you a clear view into any 3D asset — its structure, its validity, its render fidelity — without modifying the source file.
The dual renderer setup isn’t cosmetic. Hydra Storm and RealityKit produce fundamentally different results from the same source data. Seeing both simultaneously is how you catch the problems that cost days in a production pipeline.
Non-destructive by design. Preflight uses USD’s session layer architecture to hold all inspection state — zero risk to your originals.
