Thanks for the USDZ and USDC steps, especially step #5's way of including a subdirectory. Unfortunately, trying out usdcat today, some paths or something on my system are severely borked, "DLL load failed while importing _tf" and much other fun. Aha! Checking the USDZ spec, the only image types now officially supported are: png, jpeg, exr, avif. So, that roughness.tga file needs to be a roughness.png. I've attached one for your convenience. Then change all roughness.tga to roughness.png in the USDA file, repackage, and you're done.

Mine was broken too, although maybe a different error message. I had an incomplete USD build on my path. Not sure how you run USD but if you follow the python install scripts |

Thanks for the USD tools advice, but in my case I'm on Windows, so have been using NVIDIA's distribution. Usdview works great, but the other tools have some sort of path problems, I think. As usual, I have about 50 python.exe files on my computer, so, good times! |

This is an attempt to make the changes @erich666 suggests in this thread: https://academysoftwarefdn.slack.com/archives/C02TZPYMP8S/p1754431278767889
In this PR I swapped the colorspaces as specified, and rezipped. I also took screenshots in usdview but to be honest I'm not 100% that those screenshots are what we want here, and I'm not sure if there is text that's required to change in the readme as well.
@erich666 for future reference if you're interested, this is what I did
