Detailed Description

Base class for all transformable prims, which allows arbitrary sequences of component affine transformations to be encoded.

Note: You may find it useful to review Linear Algebra in UsdGeom while reading this class description.

Supported Component Transformation Operations

UsdGeomXformable currently supports arbitrary sequences of the following operations, each of which can be encoded in an attribute of the proper shape in any supported precision:

translate - 3D
scale - 3D
rotateX - 1D angle in degrees
rotateY - 1D angle in degrees
rotateZ - 1D angle in degrees
rotateABC - 3D where ABC can be any combination of the six principle Euler Angle sets: XYZ, XZY, YXZ, YZX, ZXY, ZYX. See note on rotation packing order
orient - 4D (quaternion)
transform - 4x4D

Creating a Component Transformation

To add components to a UsdGeomXformable prim, simply call AddXformOp() with the desired op type, as enumerated in UsdGeomXformOp::Type, and the desired precision, which is one of UsdGeomXformOp::Precision. Optionally, you can also provide an "op suffix" for the operator that disambiguates it from other components of the same type on the same prim.
Application-specific transform schemas can use the suffixes to fill a role similar to that played by AbcGeom::XformOp's "Hint" enums for their own round-tripping logic.

We also provide specific "Add" API for each type, for clarity and conciseness, e.g. AddTranslateOp(), AddRotateXYZOp() etc.

AddXformOp() will return a UsdGeomXformOp object, which is a schema on a newly created UsdAttribute that provides convenience API for authoring and computing the component transformations. The UsdGeomXformOp can then be used to author any number of timesamples and default for the op.

Each successive call to AddXformOp() adds an operator that will be applied "more locally" than the preceding operator, just as if we were pushing transforms onto a transformation stack - which is precisely what should happen when the operators are consumed by a reader.

Note: If you can, please try to use the UsdGeomXformCommonAPI, which wraps the UsdGeomXformable with an interface in which Op creation is taken care of for you, and there is a much higher chance that the data you author will be importable without flattening into other DCC's, as it conforms to a fixed set of Scale-Rotate-Translate Ops.

See also: Using the Authoring API

Data Encoding and Op Ordering

Because there is no "fixed schema" of operations, all of the attributes that encode transform operations are dynamic, and are scoped in the namespace "xformOp". The second component of an attribute's name provides the type of operation, as listed above. An "xformOp" attribute can have additional namespace components derived from the opSuffix argument to the AddXformOp() suite of methods, which provides a preferred way of naming the ops such that we can have multiple "translate" ops with unique attribute names. For example, in the attribute named "xformOp:translate:maya:pivot", "translate" is the type of operation and "maya:pivot" is the suffix.

The following ordered list of attribute declarations in usda define a basic Scale-Rotate-Translate with XYZ Euler angles, wherein the translation is double-precision, and the remainder of the ops are single, in which we will:

Scale by 2.0 in each dimension
Rotate about the X, Y, and Z axes by 30, 60, and 90 degrees, respectively
Translate by 100 units in the Y direction

float3 xformOp:rotateXYZ = (30, 60, 90)
float3 xformOp:scale = (2, 2, 2)
double3 xformOp:translate = (0, 100, 0)
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = [ "xformOp:translate", "xformOp:rotateXYZ", "xformOp:scale" ]

The attributes appear in the dictionary order in which USD, by default, sorts them. To ensure the ops are recovered and evaluated in the correct order, the schema introduces the xformOpOrder attribute, which contains the names of the op attributes, in the precise sequence in which they should be pushed onto a transform stack. Note that the order is opposite to what you might expect, given the matrix algebra described in Linear Algebra in UsdGeom. This also dictates order of op creation, since each call to AddXformOp() adds a new op to the end of the xformOpOrder array, as a new "most-local" operation. See Example 2 below for C++ code that could have produced this USD.

If it were important for the prim's rotations to be independently overridable, we could equivalently (at some performance cost) encode the transformation also like so:

float xformOp:rotateX = 30
float xformOp:rotateY = 60
float xformOp:rotateZ = 90
float3 xformOp:scale = (2, 2, 2)
double3 xformOp:translate = (0, 100, 0)
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = [ "xformOp:translate", "xformOp:rotateZ", "xformOp:rotateY", "xformOp:rotateX", "xformOp:scale" ]

Again, note that although we are encoding an XYZ rotation, the three rotations appear in the xformOpOrder in the opposite order, with Z, followed, by Y, followed by X.

Were we to add a Maya-style scalePivot to the above example, it might look like the following:

float3 xformOp:rotateXYZ = (30, 60, 90)
float3 xformOp:scale = (2, 2, 2)
double3 xformOp:translate = (0, 100, 0)
double3 xformOp:translate:scalePivot
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = [ "xformOp:translate", "xformOp:rotateXYZ", "xformOp:translate:scalePivot", "xformOp:scale" ]

Paired "Inverted" Ops

We have been claiming that the ordered list of ops serves as a set of instructions to a transform stack, but you may have noticed in the last example that there is a missing operation - the pivot for the scale op needs to be applied in its inverse-form as a final (most local) op! In the AbcGeom::Xform schema, we would have encoded an actual "final" translation op whose value was authored by the exporter as the negation of the pivot's value. However, doing so would be brittle in USD, given that each op can be independently overridden, and the constraint that one attribute must be maintained as the negation of the other in order for successful re-importation of the schema cannot be expressed in USD.

Our solution leverages the xformOpOrder member of the schema, which, in addition to ordering the ops, may also contain one of two special tokens that address the paired op and "stack resetting" behavior.

The "paired op" behavior is encoded as an "!invert!" prefix in xformOpOrder, as the result of an AddXformOp(isInverseOp=True) call.
The xformOpOrder for the last example would look like:

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

When asked for its value via UsdGeomXformOp::GetOpTransform(), an "inverted" Op (i.e. the "inverted" half of a set of paired Ops) will fetch the value of its paired attribute and return its negation. This works for all op types - an error will be issued if a "transform" type op is singular and cannot be inverted. When getting the authored value of an inverted op via UsdGeomXformOp::Get(), the raw, uninverted value of the associated attribute is returned.

For the sake of robustness, setting a value on an inverted op is disallowed. Attempting to set a value on an inverted op will result in a coding error and no value being set.

Resetting the Transform Stack

The other special op/token that can appear in xformOpOrder is "!resetXformStack!", which, appearing as the first element of xformOpOrder, indicates this prim should not inherit the transformation of its namespace parent. See SetResetXformStack()

Expected Behavior for "Missing" Ops

If an importer expects Scale-Rotate-Translate operations, but a prim has only translate and rotate ops authored, the importer should assume an identity scale. This allows us to optimize the data a bit, if only a few components of a very rich schema (like Maya's) are authored in the app.

		UsdGeomXformOp::Precision const	precision = `UsdGeomXformOp::PrecisionDouble`,
		TfToken const &	opSuffix = `TfToken()`,
		bool	isInverseOp = `false`
	)		const

Add an affine transformation to the local stack represented by this Xformable.

This will fail if there is already a transform operation of the same name in the ordered ops on this prim (i.e. as returned by GetOrderedXformOps()), or if an op of the same name exists at all on the prim with a different precision than that specified.

The newly created operation will become the most-locally applied transformation on the prim, and will appear last in the list returned by GetOrderedXformOps(). It is OK to begin authoring values to the returned UsdGeomXformOp immediately, interspersed with subsequent calls to AddXformOp() - just note the order of application, which can be changed at any time (and in stronger layers) via SetXformOpOrder().

Parameters

opType	is the type of transform operation, one of UsdGeomXformOp::Type.
precision	allows you to specify the precision with which you desire to encode the data. This should be one of the values in the enum UsdGeomXformOp::Precision .
opSuffix	allows you to specify the purpose/meaning of the op in the stack. When opSuffix is specified, the associated attribute's name is set to "xformOp:<opType>:<opSuffix>".
isInverseOp	is used to indicate an inverse transformation operation.

Returns: a UsdGeomXformOp that can be used to author to the operation. An error is issued and the returned object will be invalid (evaluate to false) if the op being added already exists in xformOpOrder or if the arguments supplied are invalid.

Note: If the attribute associated with the op already exists, but isn't of the requested precision, a coding error is issued, but a valid xformOp is returned with the existing attribute.

◆ ClearXformOpOrder()

USDGEOM_API bool ClearXformOpOrder ( ) const

Clears the local transform stack.

◆ CreateXformOpOrderAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute CreateXformOpOrderAttr	(	VtValue const &	defaultValue = `VtValue()`,
		bool	writeSparsely = `false`
	)		const

See GetXformOpOrderAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ Get()

static USDGEOM_API UsdGeomXformable Get	(	const UsdStagePtr &	stage,
		const SdfPath &	path
	)

static

Return a UsdGeomXformable holding the prim adhering to this schema at path on stage.

If no prim exists at path on stage, or if the prim at that path does not adhere to this schema, return an invalid schema object. This is shorthand for the following:

UsdGeomXformable(stage->GetPrimAtPath(path));

◆ GetLocalTransformation() [1/3]

USDGEOM_API bool GetLocalTransformation	(	GfMatrix4d *	transform,
		bool *	resetsXformStack,
		const std::vector< UsdGeomXformOp > &	ops,
		const UsdTimeCode	time = `UsdTimeCode::Default()`
	)		const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Computes the fully-combined, local-to-parent transformation for this prim as efficiently as possible, using a pre-fetched (cached) list of ordered xform ops supplied by the client.

Parameters

transform	is the output parameter that will hold the local transform.
resetsXformStack	is the output parameter that informs client whether they need to reset the transform stack before pushing `transform`.
ops	is the ordered set of xform ops for this prim, and will be queried without any validity checking. Passing this in can save significant value-resolution costs, if the client is able to retain this data from a call to GetOrderedXformOps().
time	is the UsdTimeCode at which to sample the ops.

Returns: true on success, false if there was an error reading data.

Note: A coding error is issued if transform or resetsXformStack is NULL.

◆ GetLocalTransformation() [2/3]

USDGEOM_API bool GetLocalTransformation	(	GfMatrix4d *	transform,
		bool *	resetsXformStack,
		const UsdTimeCode	time = `UsdTimeCode::Default()`
	)		const

Computes the fully-combined, local-to-parent transformation for this prim.

If a client does not need to manipulate the individual ops themselves, and requires only the combined transform on this prim, this method will take care of all the data marshalling and linear algebra needed to combine the ops into a 4x4 affine transformation matrix, in double-precision, regardless of the precision of the op inputs.

Parameters

transform	is the output parameter that will hold the local transform.
resetsXformStack	is the output parameter that informs client whether they need to reset the transform stack before pushing `transform`.
time	is the UsdTimeCode at which to sample the ops.

Returns: true on success, false if there was an error reading data.

Note: A coding error is issued if transform or resetsXformStack is NULL.

◆ GetLocalTransformation() [3/3]

static USDGEOM_API bool GetLocalTransformation	(	GfMatrix4d *	transform,
		std::vector< UsdGeomXformOp > const &	ops,
		const UsdTimeCode	time
	)

static

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. This is a static version of the preceding function that takes a cached list of ordered xform ops.

Parameters

transform	is the output parameter that will hold the local transform.
ops	is the ordered set of xform ops that must be combined together to compute the local transformation.
time	is the UsdTimeCode at which to sample the ops.

Returns: true on success, false if there was an error reading data.

◆ GetOrderedXformOps()

USDGEOM_API std::vector< UsdGeomXformOp > GetOrderedXformOps ( bool * resetsXformStack ) const

Return the ordered list of transform operations to be applied to this prim, in least-to-most-local order.

This is determined by the intersection of authored op-attributes and the explicit ordering of those attributes encoded in the xformOpOrder attribute on this prim. Any entries in xformOpOrder that do not correspond to valid attributes on the xformable prim are skipped and a warning is issued.

A UsdGeomTransformable that has not had any ops added via AddXformOp() will return an empty vector.

The function also sets resetsXformStack to true if "!resetXformStack!" appears anywhere in xformOpOrder (i.e., if the prim resets its parent's inherited transformation).

Note: A coding error is issued if resetsXformStack is NULL.

See also: GetResetXformStack()

	)		const

Reorder the already-existing transform ops on this prim.

All elements in orderedXformOps must be valid and represent attributes on this prim. Note that it is not required that all the existing operations be present in orderedXformOps, so this method can be used to completely change the transformation structure applied to the prim.

If resetXformStack is set to true, then "!resetXformOp! will be set as the first op in xformOpOrder, to indicate that the prim does not inherit its parent's transformation.

Note: If you wish to re-specify a prim's transformation completely in a stronger layer, you should first call this method with an empty orderedXformOps vector. From there you can call AddXformOp() just as if you were authoring to the prim from scratch.

Returns: false if any of the elements of orderedXformOps are not extant on this prim, or if an error occurred while authoring the ordering metadata. Under either condition, no scene description is authored.

◆ TransformMightBeTimeVarying() [1/2]

USDGEOM_API bool TransformMightBeTimeVarying ( ) const

Determine whether there is any possibility that this prim's local transformation may vary over time.

The determination is based on a snapshot of the authored state of the op attributes on the prim, and may become invalid in the face of further authoring.

◆ TransformMightBeTimeVarying() [2/2]

USDGEOM_API bool TransformMightBeTimeVarying ( const std::vector< UsdGeomXformOp > & ops ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Determine whether there is any possibility that this prim's local transformation may vary over time, using a pre-fetched (cached) list of ordered xform ops supplied by the client.

The determination is based on a snapshot of the authored state of the op attributes on the prim, and may become invalid in the face of further authoring.
