USDz export

I just became aware that the iPad SU app allows for USDz export. Why doesn’t the flagship PRO version also have this feature? Would rather not have to purchase 3rd-party plugins to do something a !$900! a year app should be doing. Is this coming in a future update?

I wonder if it has anything to do with it being a file format for iOS?

Weird… Blender has an exporter- user defined appended format, and it’s not just for iOS. Universal Scene Description — Blender Manual

We need more options, not excuses.

A mac only version exists.

Any brave developers wanna fork this onto PC?

Furthermore -

I wasn’t making excuses!

You can download models from 3d warehouse in USDZ format - a workaround could be uploading to 3d warehouse as a private file, then downloading as USDZ.

Or… new ipad?

Oh, fantastic!

I’ll have to test this, but does the axis in the SU file come through to the USDZ file definition?
