# OpenUSD Animation

Author time-sampled animation data on stages and prims. Set the stage
time range and frame rate, then write translate/rotate/scale keyframes
on Xformable prims, or generic attribute time samples. Requires the pxr
OpenUSD runtime.

## Workflow

1. Ensure a stage exists.
2. `set_time_codes` — configure start/end frame and FPS on the stage.
3. `author_xform_samples` — write translate/rotate/scale samples at specific times.
4. `author_attribute_samples` — write arbitrary attribute time samples.
