NVIDIA-Certified Professional: OpenUSD Development (NCP-OUSD) Sample Questions:
What fundamental data type in USD is most suitable for representing texture files?
- A. asset paths
- B. tokens
- C. strings
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for Pass4suresVCE members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
Consider the following HelloWorld.usda OpenUSD layer:
#usda 1.0
(
defaultPrim = "hello"
)
def Xform "hello"
{
double3 xformOp:translate = (4, 5, 6)
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = ["xformOp:translate"]
def Sphere "world"
{
float3[] extent = [(-2, -2, -2), (2, 2, 2)]
color3f[] primvars:displayColor = [(0, 0, 1)]
double radius = 2
}
}
What would be the output of the following Python snippet?
from pxr import Usd
refStage = Usd.Stage.CreateInMemory()
refSphere = refStage.OverridePrim("/refSphere")
refSphere.GetReferences().AddReference("./HelloWorld.usda")
print(refStage.GetRootLayer().ExportToString())
- A. #usda 1.0
over "refSphere"
{
} - B. #usda 1.0
over "hello"
{
over "refSphere" (
prepend references = @./HelloWorld.usda@
)
{
}
} - C. #usda 1.0
over "refSphere" (
prepend references = @./HelloWorld.usda@
)
{
}
Correct Answer: C 🗳️

You are debugging a complex scene composed of multiple layers. You notice that a property on a prim has an unexpected value. To understand where this value is coming from, you need to inspect the composition arcs affecting this prim. Which API would be most helpful in visualizing and analyzing the composition arcs for a specific prim?
- A. Usd.Stage.Export()
- B. Usd.Property.GetPropertyStack()
- C. UsdUtils.ComputeUsdStageStats()
- D. Usd.Stage.Traverse()
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

Which statement correctly describes how UsdGeomSubsets can be used to organize geometry for specific material assignments or rendering attributes in OpenUSD?
- A. They partition a single UsdGeomMesh into distinct groups that can have materials independently bound to them.
- B. They can provide finer-grained control of UsdGeomImageable properties, e.g. visibility or purpose, on subsets of faces.
- C. They force a mesh to be tessellated at the boundary of each subset for improved visual quality.
- D. They must be defined at the root OpenUSD stage level for them to apply to any mesh.

Referring to dining_room.usda, which of the following best describes the role of the references composition arc on the /Root/Chair prim?
#usda 1.0
def Xform "Root"
{
def Xform "Chair" (
references = @chair.usda@
)
{
float3 xformOp:scale = (1.5, 1.5, 1.5)
}
}
- A. It composes the definition from chair.usda with the local /Root/Chair. The local xformOp:scale overrides corresponding referenced opinions.
- B. It creates a bidirectional link between the local /Root/chair prim and chair.usda so that any changes in one are automatically reflected in the other.
- C. It is used to import variant sets from chair.usda into the local /Root/chair prim.
- D. It completely replaces the local /Root/chair prim with the contents of chair.usda, ignoring any local attribute definitions such as scale.
