Agenda

  • Continuation of FBX and USD based workflow discussion.

    • Using collections to link a USDSkel to a group of animations.

      • What else might be missing for the animation in games workflow?

    • Does non-animated content run into the same issues?

  • Layers and Sublayers, which may be the better option for game-specific workflows?

    • Some good discussion on their use at different studios from last meeting.

    • Pixar outlined some downsides to using sublayers.

  • Open discussion on next topics!
