By formalizing data models, schemas enable the interpretation of raw data by USD-compliant runtimes. Specifically, we dive into: Data formalization: Custom schemas formalize data models, such as geometric meshes. Schemas formalize prim data, making them queryable and interpretable by USD-compliant runtimes.

The previous post investigated some lossless filtering of data, before passing it to a regular compression library. Our result so far is: 94.5MB of data can get filtered+compressed down to 23.0MB in one second (split/shuffle bytes, delta encode, zstd or kraken compression). It decompresses back in about 0.15

As a general rule of thumb, if a mechanic breaks theme immersion, is fiddly by necessity, or doesn’t mesh with existing mechanics then save yourself the time and drop it. In this case, it wasn’t so bad, but in general, you want to have to track as little data as possible. Back to the drawing board!
