Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share a new file format plug-in I have recently released for reading BVH animation files.

Some example use cases include:

:bulb:Use usdview to inspect and play back skeletal animation data in BVH files

:bulb:Use usdrecord to render playblasts of BVH motion capture data on the command line

:bulb:Use USD to transcode BVH motion capture data to other file formats

:bulb:Use USD to compose BVH animation into a larger scene composition

:bulb:Extend a DCC that supports USD (and the usdSkel schema) to import BVH animation data

:bulb:Write your skeletal animation pipeline on top of USD and use this plug-in to ingest BVH data into it

:bulb:Ingest the various open source motion capture data sets delivered in BVH (Ubisoft LAFAN1, etc…) into your USD-based skeletal animation pipeline
