    Unreal connector is avaiable
    3dsmax connector is available
    I don't even know if a Unity connector is planned.

    Any news here?

    I think USD need to be prioritized especially if Unity want to compete in the non gaming markets.

    I hope USD is on top of Unity priority. We need this now!

    It is more than a rumour, its in the Omniverse documentation, although that seems to be slightly 'ahead' of their implementation schedule.

    https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/app_create/app_create/features.html

    "Connectors are available for many existing tools like Revit, Sketchup, 3ds Max, Rhino, Grasshopper, Maya, Houdini, Unreal, Unity, Blender and more on the way. "

    (Of course, the ones that arent done yet, Houdini, Blender and Unity, are the ones Im most interested in.)

    edit : seems to be predicated on Unity's own USD support, as per

    https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/when-will-the-connector-for-unity-be-released/164536/5

    Having seen Jensen Huang's keynote in recent GTC and the impressive progress in the ecosystem I would also like to follow up on this topic. Are there more specific plans for a Unity Omniverse plugin?

    It already was, though. I think they just mean its now out of open beta.

    Im expecting Nucleus cloud hosting will be a tiered and priced service they offer, tiers based on storage and bandwidth limits.

    FWIW, the above list of connectors is slightly out of date, I think. In particular, although there's no separate Connector, NVidia provide their own fork of Blender 3.1 Alpha, for USD support.
    Also, for completion, there dont actually seem to be Connectors yet for Photoshop, PlantFactory. or PTC Onshape, but there are ones for SketchFab, CG Trader and Turbosquid.

    I think it would be amazing to have a Unity connector for Nvidia Omniverse. Unless Unity is trying to compete with Nvidia with their upcoming toolkit of Weta tools / remote cloud platform for easy content creation powered by AI ? it seems like both companies are trying to create something similar even if Unity is more focused on art and entertainment. I hope they go in both directions ( developing their own tools and also integrating with Nvidia ) instead of limiting us users to wait for their upcoming tools, these more advanced tools are in their very early stages of development and not available yet for us, meanwhile Nvidia Omniverse already could help us work more efficiently with Physics and AI without having to wait years for the new tools to come out

    There are a few usdz plugins on github, but I am surprised NVIDIA does not just supply the usdz plugin themselves

    Super keen for this to exist. I have a university project depending on it. The deadline is September 2023. No pressure ;)

    Don't base anything you have to release on tech that isn't available or is only experimental.

    Assume that future tech is never released on time.
    Hence, assume you already failed your project.
    Or as already mentioned above, reconsider your project goals.

    You've properly discussed the project and your contingency plans with your lecturers, though, right?

    Then you have lost your deadline so you should choose things that exist today, in your hands, right now.

    I hope it's "depending" on it as in "would be nifty to perhaps use it", not "this or nothing else".

    It is a unity competitor, not a unity ENGINE competitor. It is a suit of digital content creation for Metaverse, i wouldnt be surprised.
