Arvid Schneider shows how to tinker with the LookDevX technology preview in Maya 2024 under USD scenes.

The latest release of Maya also comes with a technology preview in LookDevX, a look-development tool that works under USD, with MaterialX. It’s similar to the Hypershade authoring environment in Maya, but you can author materials feasibly to have them work across multiple content creation tools.

LookdevX allows you to create consistent look development across products, platforms, and game engines.

Check out this latest tutorial from Arvid Schneider that walks us through creating a USD scene and using LookDevX to create materials.
