Universal Scene Description
Developed by Pixar, is a robust framework for the interchange and collaborative editing of 3D graphics data. It has become essential in the computer graphics industry due to its comprehensive ecosystem that supports large-scale projects.
Key Features of USD/USDZ
Modularity and Composability:
Manage complex USD scenes by composing separate files, allowing different teams to work simultaneously. This enhances collaboration and reduces the risk of conflicts, enabling efficient workflow management in large projects.Cross-Platform/Application:
Ensures USD data fidelity across different software and platforms, facilitating seamless collaboration in diverse environments. This interoperability reduces the need for data conversion and minimizes errors during transfers.Hierarchical Structure:
USD files Organize data intuitively, making navigation and manipulation of complex scenes straightforward. This structure simplifies the management of intricate details and relationships within a scene.
USD/USDZ File Conversion
Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software leverages the industry-leading OpenUSD framework to process USD, USDA, USDC, and USDZ files, delivering flawless and optimized 3D data management. By harnessing OpenUSD's powerful capabilities and exceptional performance, Autoconverter ensures premium-quality conversions, cross-platform compatibility, and efficient workflows for all your 3D content requirements.
Rhinoceros 3D File
The native file format for Rhinoceros 3D (Rhino), a powerful and versatile NURBS-based 3D modeling software. As Rhino’s default format, 3DM is designed to store precise mathematical representations of curves, surfaces, and solids, making it ideal for high-accuracy modeling across industries.
Supported Geometry Types
Known for its precision and versatility, the 3DM format supports a comprehensive range of geometric data types, making it ideal for both organic freeform modeling and technical CAD applications, including:
NURBS Surfaces:
Enables mathematically precise, smooth, and editable surfaces essential for high-end industrial and automotive design.Polygonal Meshes:
Stores tessellated geometry for 3D printing, rendering, and simulation.SubD (Subdivision Surfaces):
Allows for flexible, organic modeling with editable subdivision geometry.Instance References:
Lightweight object copies (not duplicates) that reference a single source, saving memory and ensuring synchronized updates.
3DM File Conversion
Our software solutions enable seamless conversion between 3DM and other major CAD formats (e.g., STEP, IGES, OBJ, DWG, STL). Autoconverter exports only polygonal meshes (STL, OBJ, etc.), suitable for 3D printing and real-time rendering, while Autoshaper preserves NURBS geometry, ensuring superior accuracy for CAD, CAM, and engineering workflows. Both converters can save 3DM files in legacy formats (Rhino 2.X - 7.X) or the latest Rhino 8.X version, ensuring smooth collaboration across different software environments.
