Welcome to ipyanimlab documentation!

ipyanimlab is a Jupyter Lab library build on top of ipywebgl https://ipywebgl.readthedocs.io/ to quickly render character animation when doing animation research and development.

It uses Pixar OpenUSD library to load asset and animation, and it supports BVH animation also.
