Incorrect transform when exporting an object hierarchy to USD #1402
Description
When exporting objects from an Arnold scene via AiSceneWrite(), the transform is wrong, if the object hierarchy is coded into the node names.
Arnold does not support object hierarchy, in an Arnold scene all objects are on the same level. When we export objects from DCCs which support hierarchy, this information is encoded into the node name. For instance if a Pyramid is under a Cube object in Cinema 4D, the name of the Pyramid will be '/Cube/Pyramid'. When exporting to USD, it recognizes the hierarchy, and puts the Pyramid object under the Cube, but it does not change the transform to relative to the Cube and still uses the global transform. That's causing the problem.
These are ASS and USD exports of the same scene.
ASS file: object_hierarchy.ass.zip
USD file: object_hierarchy.usda.zip
To verify, load the ASS and USD files with a procedural.
