Convert GLB to USDZ via Python

Render GLB as USDZ without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert GLB to USDZ Using Python

In order to convert GLB to USDZ, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for Python via .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Command line
pip install aspose-3d

Steps to Convert GLB to USDZ via Python

Python programmers can easily load & convert GLB files to USDZ in just a few lines of code.

Load GLB file via the from_file of Scene class
Call the Scene.save method with USDZ’s format.
Check resultant USDZ file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the Python conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
Python 3.5 or later.
Aspose.3D for Python referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

GLB What is GLB File Format?

GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models saved in the GL Transmission Format (glTF). Information about 3D models such as node hierarchy, cameras, materials, animations and meshes in binary format. This binary format stores the glTF asset (JSON, .bin and images) in a binary blob. It also avoids the issue of increase in file size which happens in case of glTF. GLB file format results in compact file sizes, fast loading, complete 3D scene representation, and extensibility for further development. The format uses model/gltf-binary as MIME type.

usdz What is usdz File Format?

A file with .usdz is an uncompressed and unencrypetd ZIP archive for the USD (Universal Scene Description) file format that contains and proxies for files of other formats (such as textures, and animations) embedded within the archive and runs them directly with the USD run-time without any need of unpacking. USDZ files are packages whose design is based on the new Ar-level abstraction of a package. Usdz was registered with IANA and has media type name of model and a subtype name of vnd.usd+zip and its details can be found as on IANA registration page.
