VariationReader weight attributes as primitive variables #25

Closed andrewkaufman closed 5 years ago

It would be good to move the joint* attributes to PrimitiveVariables on the meshes. Its not common to store such a large dataset as attributes in Gaffer, and its less flexible in terms of manipulation downstream.

There are known limitations preventing this currently (eg we'd need a fixed numbers of influences), but there are naming schemes that can accomodate these issues as well.

If we take this approach, we need to make sure the Generator removes those primvars so they never hit the renderer.
