uSwitch functions similarly to Switch but is specifically designed for the USD environment.

uSwitch is a tool that enables artists to alternate between multiple USD input sources, allowing the selection of one output from the chosen inputs. This capability is especially useful for toggling between different visual elements within a composition. The number of input connections can vary, with the node supporting a dynamic number of inputs that can be renamed as needed. Controls in the Config tab allow users to add or remove inputs and change their names.

uSwitch Node Setup

Connect as many input sources as you wish to the uSwitch Node and connect its output to the rest of the node tree.

uSwitch Node Controls Tab

uSwitch Controls Tab

The Switch Controls consist of a Source switcher that lets you choose which source to pass through
the switch.

uSwitch Node Config Tab

uSwitch Config Tab

The uSwitch configuration lets you choose the number of inputs and rename them.

  • Number of Inputs: Adjust the slider to add the number of inputs you wish to use, up to nine. If you want more than nine inputs, you can click in the number field and type the number manually.
  • Name X: You can change the name of the input from numerical to something more descriptive.

Common Controls

The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other USD nodes.
