# maya-asset-sync

Typed cross-DCC revision sync using the shared `dcc-mcp-core.asset_sync` contract.
Filesystem roots are operator-owned environment configuration.

`sync_usd_revision` offers two deliberate editability modes:

- `native`: MayaUSD imports hierarchy, joints, animation as native Maya curves,
  geometry and shader networks for direct editing.
- `usd_proxy`: a `mayaUsdProxyShape` references the immutable layer and retains
  maximum USD composition fidelity for non-destructive layer edits.

The result reports native animCurve, joint, NURBS curve, material, texture and
bounding-box evidence so callers can verify what remained controllable. Native
material evidence also identifies imported Arnold `standardSurface` PBR
materials, their metalness, specular roughness, IOR, transmission, coat, and
connected shader inputs instead of treating a material count as proof of
lookdev fidelity.
