[Hydra] Reading Render Settings from the scene delegate

[sirpalee]

Description of Issue

As of the latest dev, Hydra can not read render settings from the scene delegate. Storing the render settings in the scene delegate could be a powerful feature, for example: shot specific sampling settings stored in USD files and passed to the renderer.

To get this working in USD/usdview with the current system, we need a custom schema type, a custom adapter for USD imaging which either passes settings to the render delegate or creates a custom hydra primitive. Having a standard way to read render settings from the scene delegate (and some USD primitive or layer metadata) would make this significantly simpler.

We agree! We’re trying to polish up a spec for this to publish for siggraph... it’s close but we’re also slammed 😁
