Also announced,  Fusion Studio 18.5 is also now in beta, which adds support for Universal Scene Descriptor files for easier collaboration between VFX artists. USD data such as geometry, lighting, cameras, materials and animation can be imported, and its new USD tools let users manipulate, re-light and render files using Hydra-based renderers such as Storm. Additionally, the new multi-merge tool lets users merge numerous media sources into a single multi-layer stack, so it’s easier to create composites by merging clips, stills or graphics using layers.
