Load to Maya USD Proxy Shape using AYON Entity URI for AYON USD Resolver

[BigRoy]

Changelog Description

Load to Maya USD Proxy Shape using AYON Entity URI for AYON USD Resolver

Additional info

Matches this AYON Houdini PR: ynput/ayon-houdini#26 and hence also highlights what we may want to de-duplicate and re-use code for.

TODO

• Allow to toggle in settings whether path should be AYON Entity URI or regular resolved path

Testing notes:

1. Upload new addon
2. Enable ayon+settings://maya/load/MayaUsdLoader/use_ayon_entity_uri
3. Load USD to Maya USD Proxy

4. It should use the AYON Entity URI as filepath.
5. It should work with the AYON USD resolver.

Hello @BigRoy i see that this maya addon needs a core version of 0.4.1+ and im not sure what branch i should use for to build the right core addon for that ?

This should work fine with any recent version of ayon-core. So develop branch should be fine, or even the 0.4.4 release if you'd like.

My Domain Knowledge of Maya is 0.
but i see the expected Object in Maya loaded with a usd.

i have no idea if its using the uri or not tho.
i believe its an normal path tho.

[Edit] i activated the settings for entity uri.

[Edit2] now im pritty sure its not doing it.

1. @Lypsolon did you have the setting enabled?
2. I have a feeling you're using "Reference USD" or whatever (which is a maya reference, which I'm not sure would even support the resolver - I'd need to try that! still) but this is about the "Load USD to Maya Proxy" loader.

Tested on almalinux 9 Maya20205

it was possible to load an asset build by using the contribution workflow via Houdini.

materials where assigned correctly, asset loaded, uri was with the correct version and not with latest.
