In brief: AMD released an updated USD Hydra plugin for Blender with Blender 3.0 support.
Plugin functions: The add-on let Blender work with point-based USD data, render Blender scenes through the USD Hydra framework and export USD for downstream applications.
Legacy and Maya support: AMD continued maintaining older plug-ins through fixes and releases. A separate Autodesk Maya plug-in was available, limited at the time to viewport rendering.
Further information: The Blender USD Hydra add-on and Maya plug-in were published on GitHub. Test USD schemas, render delegates and host-version compatibility before production use.
