USDZ_converter

What it does

Converts OBJ or FBX files to USDZ using Blender 4.0.

Requirements

• have Blender 4.0+ installed.
• have a 3d model as OBJ or FBX that you'd like to convert

Setup

• download the "Convert_to_USDZ.py" and "USDZ_convert.bat" files
• place the "Convert_to_USDZ.py" file into a "dependancy folder" wherever. (I have a bunch of various bat scripts that rely on various python scripts, so they all get placed in a dependacy folder)
• open the "USDZ_convert" BAT file in notepad, and change the "BLENDER_PATH" and "PYTHON_SCRIPT" directories to match your PC's config.

Usage

• place the "USDZ_convert.BAT" file in a folder that contains a OBJ or FBX 3d model
• double click to run it (or run it via CMD)
• if successful, you'll have a USDZ file outputted into the same folder.

Note

• As I am mainly using this for Realitycapture photogrammetry model conversions to USDZ file formats, I am importing OBJ's into Blender with a Y forward and Z Up coordinate system (which is how RealityCapture exports OBJs). FBX file imports are with default settings.
