So this is great and all but is there a version that's been released that can be used with standalone USDview? I understand the process of building the hydra delegates is heavily dependent on what you're building against so I would ask that a version be built against the current release on the Nvidia website for usdview, specifically 24.08, and python 3.10.14 if possible so people without an Omniverse subscription or access to Houdini and Solaris could try it out as well. Is that something the Octane team could do, if not support and just provide as is?
