I tried with the latest version of maya 2025.3 with mayausd 0.30.0 The animation is published successfully. image

Yes, that's the idea. Do keep in mind this PR is still in draft. There are other things to solve too, like:

  • This may need to be optional or configurable in settings. (especially for backwards compatibility with existing projects)

  • Shouldn't crash on older USD addons, but if the setting is used on the instance what should it do then? Log a warning that the output might not consider that and hence may be different than what the user expects from the toggles?

This should be configurable in settings, but we need to inform users about the missing functionalities if they are using elder versions of maya usd.
