Plugin Tool for Houdini which converts the Megascan Assets into USD in Solaris and stores them in Layout Asset Gallery

Tool Outline

• It unpacks different variants and converts the shading network to materialX network
• Can support different megasacan houdini packages - like it can supports single mesh, multiple variant in single subnet and splitted variants.
• Gives access to different file path prefixes and saves different file path presets so that it can be retrieved later
• All the assets are then displayed in the layout asset gallery so that User can directly drag and drop assets just like UE (Content browser)
