Max Ouellet developed and refactored core USD I/O functionality for the facebookresearch/momentum repository, focusing on robust asset interchange and modular architecture. Over two months, Max overhauled the USD integration by restructuring multi-file I/O, enhancing save/load features for blend shapes, animations, and collision geometry, and introducing comprehensive unit tests. Using C++, Python, and pybind11, Max decoupled USD I/O into a dedicated extension module, improving build stability and reducing binary size for non-USD users. The work addressed error handling, static analysis, and cross-format fidelity, resulting in a scalable, maintainable codebase that supports both GLTF and USD workflows with improved reliability.
