PointInstancer using positions from a usdSkel deformed mesh

[dietchmatch (Javier gonzalez gabriel)]

Hi!
I’m having some trouble trying to create ( python API ) a pointInstancer using positions from a UsdSkel binded geometry.
Is this even possible?

Thanks a ton!

This is not currently possible, as it requires propagating computations in a general way, whereas UsdSkel is implemented in a fairly specialized way right now. This is the kind of thing OpenExec should enable us to do.

thanks @spiff , i was fearing that
workflow for now is to use UsdSkelBakeSkinning to get those values printed, but maybe there’s a better way i’m not aware of, is it?
Thanks!
