AR Creation (USDZ)

USDZ is Apple's implementation of Pixar's USD file format, that includes meshes, materials, animations, audio, and interactions, that is exclusive to Apple devices.

How to make USDZ's

Apple Reality Composer

Reality Composer for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS makes it easy to build, test, tune, simulate, and export AR experiences for iPhone or iPad.

In Reality Composer you can add animations to your 3D models that let you move, scale, and add emphasis like a โ€œwiggleโ€ or โ€œspinโ€ to virtual objects. You can choose for actions to happen when a user taps an object, comes in close proximity to it, or activates some other trigger. You can also take advantage of spatial audio to add a new level of reality to your AR scene. Reality Composer exports to USDZ with all of these effects and interactive behaviors packaged in.

In Foveate, you can attach a custom USDZ to your Foveate scene so that when an iOS user clicks the AR icon they will be served your uploaded USDZ instead of the default generated USDZ. Learn more about Reality Composer .

Blender USDZ

Blender 4.0 can natively export USDZ on both Mac and Windows. Click, export USD, and then select the toggle for "ARkit Asset".

Cinema4D

Cinema4D can also natively export USDZ via the USD export option. Simply check the "Zipped" flag.

Apple Reality Converter

Convert 3D

Gestaltor

Apple also supplies a conversion app called for batch converting GLTF/GLB files to USDZ.

One of the best free solutions is , a free 3D file converter. Take our FBX, OBJ, STL's and more, and convert them to next-generation formats like GLTF and USDZ in no time. It supports over 50+ different 3D formats.

Gestlator is an excellent crossplatform viewer, optimizer and converter for GLTF files. It can also export USDZ. Find out mere about it .
