InnovationFor The Deep Above, we built a full USD pipeline from scratch, enabling flexible USD layer composition and efficient asset reuse. We captured base character animations with the OptiTrack motion capture system and integrated custom Maya USD skeleton caches. We developed a sequence-based Solaris workflow, utilising multiple renderers via hydra.
