USDZ

Imports and exports Pixar USDZ (.usdz) packages — USDZLoader reads one into a SceneModel; USDZExporter writes a SceneModel back out.

USDZ is an uncompressed ZIP package wrapping a root USD layer (binary "Crate" .usdc or ASCII .usda) plus its textures. The loader unpacks the ZIP and decodes the root layer with the tinyusdz wasm reader; the exporter writes an ASCII .usda root layer in a stored, aligned ZIP.

Loader is browser-only (v1): the tinyusdz wasm is web/worker-only, so loading throws under Node. The exporter is pure JS and runs anywhere, Node included. Packaged textures and USD animation / skinning / variants are not handled yet.

import {USDZLoader, USDZExporter} from "@xeokit/sdk/formats/usdz";

const fileData = await (await fetch("model.usdz")).arrayBuffer();
const sceneModel = scene.createModel({id: "myModel"}).value;
await new USDZLoader().load({fileData, sceneModel});

const usdzBytes = await new USDZExporter().write({sceneModel});
