Personally, I develop for py27 and py35 at home, and outside of a few edge cases, most things are covered by six to the point that I don't think it's hard to develop new code that is compliant with both. What is hard is updating

Yes, I should add that in there as a note. I don't really know of any studios doing feature film work with Blender to be honest, but it is important. Of interest, vfxplatform.com is the group that sets the loose guidelines of what pack

Speicifcally USD is a: * scene descriptor * geometry caching format * GL Scene Graph viewer though each of those can exist independently of each other, and it does support Alembic as a geometry backend. I believe they didn't support al
