Just pushed some new texture handling code to dev. Loading the nvidia Attic scene should be much faster! Try a race between 20.05 and dev using "--timing" in usdview & post your numbers! Ours: 20.05: Time to create first image: 115.925s dev: Time to create first image: 11.973s

Watch lectures from Jim Blinn, Alvy Ray Smith and Ed Catmull youtube.com/channel/UCNXre0q… An historical gold mine and genuinely filled with detail you can still learn from. Interesting is the lengths they went to remember things without immediate reference (e.g. rotation matrices).
