Simple Transform

simple_transform.usda

This file shows an example of a mesh with a simple, common stack of transform operations.

uniform token[] xformOpOrder = [
    "xformOp:translate",
    "xformOp:rotateXYZ",
    "xformOp:scale"
]

This file shows an example of a mesh with a complex stack of transform operations.

uniform token[] xformOpOrder = [
    "xformOp:translate",
    "xformOp:translate:rotatePivotOffset",
    "xformOp:translate:rotatePivot",
    "xformOp:rotateXYZ:rotateOffset",
    "xformOp:rotateXYZ",

Weird Matrix Transform

weird_matrix_transform.usda

This file shows an example of a mesh with a matrix transform with weird, nonsensible values.

custom Matrix4d xformOp:transform = ((1, 2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8), (9, 10, 11, 12), (13, 14, 15, 1))
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = ["xformOp:transform"]

Nested Xforms

xforms_nested.usda

This file uses nestes Xforms to verify that transform operations are correctly applied in order.

Nested Scopes and Xforms

scopes_and_xforms_nested.usda

This file uses nestes Scopes and Xforms to verify that transform operations are correctly applied in order and that a mix of Scopes and Xforms doesn’t cause issues.
