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.

Blender 3D (BLEND) Project File
The BLEND file is the native project format for Blender, the powerful open-source 3D modeling, animation, and rendering suite. Designed to store complete 3D scenes, BLEND files encapsulate models, textures, materials, lighting, animations, and scene settings - enabling a flexible, non-destructive workflow for artists, game developers, and 3D designers worldwide.
Key Features of BLEND Files
- Comprehensive Project Storage: BLEND files consolidate models, rigs, textures, simulations, lighting setups, animations, and more into a single, manageable file.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Fully supported across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems with seamless interoperability.
- Efficient File Compression: BLEND files utilize integrated gzip compression to minimize storage size while retaining all 3D project data.
- Backward and Forward Compatibility: Blender ensures older BLEND files remain accessible and upgradeable in newer software versions, preserving your project history.
- Multi-Format Export: Export from Blender to formats like FBX, OBJ, STL, GLTF, and more for enhanced versatility and pipeline integration.
Convert BLEND Files to CAD Formats
With our Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import BLEND files and convert them into various 3D file formats, including DWG, SKP, STEP, and FBX. This enables smooth transitions of your Blender-created 3D models into professional CAD workflows while maintaining geometry, object hierarchies, and layer structures.
Note: Our software currently supports importing BLEND files for conversion. Direct export to the BLEND format is not available. We ensure your 3D geometry and organizational data are preserved during the conversion process.
