Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for animating a static structure rendered in a three-dimensional environment. A method includes accessing mesh data associated with the static structure. The mesh data describes primitives used to render the static structure in the three-dimensional environment. Once the mesh data is accessed, the static structure is rendered in the three-dimensional environment such that the mesh data associated with the static structure is used to represent the static structure. Animation data associated with the static structure is also accessed. The animation data includes a transform that includes a motion type and a description of the group of primitives from the mesh data that the motion type is applied to. Once the animation data is accessed, the group of primitives is animated such that the motion type is applied to the group of primitives.
