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.

U3D Universal 3D Model Exchange - U3D File Format

The Universal 3D (U3D) format is an open, royalty-free 3D file standard designed for efficient sharing of 3D models across different platforms and applications. Originally developed by the 3D Industry Forum and now standardized by ECMA International (ECMA-363), U3D files offer compressed storage of 3D triangular meshes, along with attributes like color, transparency, and texture mapping. U3D is widely known for enabling interactive 3D graphics directly within PDF documents.

Main Features of U3D Files

  • Open and Royalty-Free: Maintained as an international standard, ensuring no licensing fees for developers and users.
  • 3D PDF Support: Integrates seamlessly with PDF files (ISO 32000 standard), allowing users to embed, view, and interact with 3D models inside Adobe Acrobat Reader and other compatible viewers.
  • Efficient Compression: Stores 3D geometry and properties in a compact, binary format optimized for fast transmission and document embedding.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables 3D model viewing across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring proprietary software.

Convert U3D Files to Other 3D Formats

Easily convert U3D models to popular 3D formats with our Autoconverter and Automesher Application. Powered by Intel's open-source IFX library, our solutions allow high-fidelity two-way conversion between U3D and formats like STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), DAE (Collada), STEP, and X3D.
