This page defines the usage of animation playback in USD Explorer.
Animation in USD Explorer#
Animation in Kit-based apps is accomplished primarily through external digital content creation applications such as Blender, Maya, 3Ds Max, etc. These animations can be imported into USD Explorer and played in a timeline.
Animations can also be created in USD Composer and then viewed in USD Explorer’s Animation Bar.
