Importer UI
Animation Clips
Use the Animation Clips panel to review and manage imported glTF and glb animation clips inside Maya.
The panel is dockable and can also be used as a floating window.
Integration with Maya's Time Editor
The plug-in uses Maya's Time Editor to organize imported animation clips. When you import a glTF or GLB file with animation clips, the importer automatically creates the corresponding Time Editor clips where:
- Each composition appears as a main grouping in the Time Editor
- Each animation clip within a composition is created in its own track
- The clips in the corresponding tracks are clearly labeled with their respective animation names
- You can easily navigate between different compositions using the dropdown composition selector
This gives you a direct connection between the panel and Maya's native animation workflow.
Using the Animation Clips Panel
In the Animation Clips panel, you can:
- Select a Composition: Choose the composition you want to inspect from the dropdown at the top of the panel
- Review Imported Clips: See the clips created for that composition during import
- Play Clips: Play individual clips directly from the panel
- Edit Clips: Rename or delete clips directly from the panel
The panel also includes tools for defining new clips and baking clips to the scene when needed.
