To create a USDC file from images, you can follow these steps as outlined in the WWDC sessions:

  1. Prepare Your 3D Scene: Use a Digital Content Creation (DCC) tool like Blender, Maya, or Houdini to create or import your 3D scene. For example, in Blender, you can set up your scene and ensure that your assets are properly named and organized.

  2. Export as USDC: In your DCC tool, go to the export options and select the Universal Scene Description (USD) format. Choose the USDC file type, which is a binary format suitable for storing large amounts of data such as geometry. This format is efficient and can be opened in any USD-compatible application.

    • In Blender, you would go to the File menu, select Export, and then choose the USD format. Ensure that you leave the parameters as default unless you have specific requirements. You may need to set a root print name, which will carry over to Reality Composer Pro.

    • Example from Blender:

      In Blender, go to the File menu, select Export, and choose Universal Scene Description (USD). Leave the parameters as default and set a root print name. This name will carry over to Reality Composer Pro.
      
  3. Import into Reality Composer Pro: Once you have your USDC file, you can import it into Reality Composer Pro. This tool allows you to further manipulate and optimize your 3D assets for spatial computing.

    • Example from Reality Composer Pro:
      In Reality Composer Pro, import the USDC file into a new project. You can then modify materials and other properties as needed.
