​​Utility modules

​​skel​

​​The skel​ modules provides functions to deal with skeleton and skeleton animation data.
​​The module includes the following functions:
​​
​​AssignSkeletonAnimation
​​
​​AssignSkeletonAnimation(nodeName, skelPath, targetNode, targetAnimPath)
​​
​​This function assigns the specified skeleton animation to the given path on the given node.
​​The skeleton to which to assign the animation is expected to exist in the Multiverse USD Compound node named nodeName​ on the location specified by skelPath​ (that must be of type Skeleton​).
​​The skeleton animation to be assigned is expected to be definedin the Multiverse USD Compound node named targetNode​  on the location specified by targetAnimPath​ (that must be of type SkelAnimation​).
​​
​​Example usage:
​​import multiverse as mv
​​
​​mv.skel.AssignSkeletonAnimation(
​​    'char_geom_skinShape',
​​    '/root/char/skel/Hips',
​​    'skel_animShape',
​​    '/char/skel/Hips/Anim')
