Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Planar, Spherical and Perspective shading node projections are all needed in the day-to-day work of Maya Layout & Lighting artists.

Describe the solution you'd like Projection node with input transform promoted to a shading graph.

Describe alternatives you've considered Ideally implemented as MaterialX node connecting an input USD XForm (animatable). See tri-planar node: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/MaterialX/blob/main/documents/Specification/MaterialX.Specification.md#texture-nodes

Additional context Maya has powerful projection placement with many types. All would be ideal but Planar, Spherical and Perspective projections are the most essential.
