As an indie animation studio for Secret Magic Control Agency (SMCA), we moved to Pixar’s Universal Scene Description (USD) as the backbone of our pipeline. To make this possible, we introduced our in-house application framework, Wizart DCC Platform as a USD-native toolset. We used its extensibility to successfully implement new scene assembly, shading, hair grooming, and lighting workflows.
