USD USD & USDZ File Format - Universal Scene Description by Pixar

Universal Scene Description (USD), developed by Pixar, is a powerful framework for creating, editing, and exchanging complex 3D scenes. Now widely adopted in the VFX, animation, and AR industries, the USD ecosystem supports large-scale pipelines through its modular, scalable, and cross-platform architecture. USDZ is its optimized variant for mobile AR applications, especially on Apple devices.

Key Features of USD and USDZ

  • Modular and Composable Architecture: USD enables efficient scene composition by referencing multiple files, allowing teams to collaborate on complex projects without data duplication or conflicts.
  • Cross-Platform Interoperability: USD ensures accurate data exchange across software platforms like Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, and more - ideal for collaborative, multi-tool workflows.
  • Hierarchical and Layered Scene Representation: Easily organize 3D data using namespaces, variants, layers, and references, providing unparalleled control over versioning and detail management.

Convert USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ Files

Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software supports full-featured conversion for USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ formats. Powered by the OpenUSD framework, our tools allow you to import, export, and convert USD files to popular 3D formats like GLTF, FBX, STL, OBJ, SKP, and STEP. Whether you are developing for AR, animation, or CAD pipelines, our converters offer precision and compatibility across platforms.

3DM Rhinoceros 3D (3DM) File Format

The 3DM file format is the native format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a leading NURBS-based 3D modeling software used across industries like architecture, engineering, and industrial design. 3DM files accurately store mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, solids, and meshes, making them essential for precision 3D modeling and CAD workflows.

Key Features of 3DM Files

  • NURBS Geometry: Supports precise, smooth surfaces critical for advanced design and engineering projects.
  • Polygonal Meshes: Stores tessellated 3D models ideal for rendering, simulation, and 3D printing workflows.
  • SubD Surfaces: Allows flexible, editable subdivision modeling for organic shapes and complex surfaces.
  • Instance References: Saves memory by creating linked object instances, optimizing large and detailed models.

Convert 3DM Files Seamlessly

Autoconverter and Autoshaper simplify 3DM file conversion to popular formats like STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, and DWG. Automate the export of 3DM polygon meshes for 3D printing, or preserve NURBS data for engineering-grade CAD models. Save files in legacy (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or latest Rhino 8.X formats to ensure compatibility across all project environments.
