Can already be tested in the latest beta of Gantry27 testflight.apple.com/join/1MXM41Wm [contains quote post or other embedded content]

USDKit beta 2 → beta 3 jump is variants - USDPrim.variantSets - USDPrim.VariantSet - VariantSetCollection.add - VariantSet.add - setSelection, clearSelection, blockSelection - selection, authoredSelection, variantNames - withEditTarget(layer:_:) Also new: USDPrim.transform(at:)

For those lucky enough to be on macOS27, here's a TestFlight of Gantry powered by USDkit, we call it Gantry27 (and sure, we put more thought into the app than the name) testflight.apple.com/join/1MXM41Wm https://testflight.apple.com/join/1MXM41Wm

while we wait for the review of the first Gantry27 beta, we kept going and started with the implementation of Spatial Preview so we can start really enjoying the benefits of USDKit

Script graphs can now be selected via components in Deconstructed3 #RealityKit #RealityComposerPro3

23 Jun 2026 19:15 +0000

Deconstructed3 current state: opens, edits, and re-saves the new .realitycomposerpro project files. Viewport and object tree, lets you move, duplicate, delete, and add objects, and includes a visual editor for "script graphs" with runtime and some samples https://github.com/elkraneo/Deconstructed3

23 Jun 2026 17:29 +0000

UPDATE: After a closer look, the beta-2 SDK (27A5209h) does expose this USDKit typed layer in the public .swiftinterface — but underscore-prefixed (_get/_set/_readArray/_writeArray/_getElement), i.e., SPI: linkable today, but not yet finished API and subject to change between seeds.

USDKit Beta 1 had no typed way to read or write vector values. Beta 2 adds USDArray for scalars, Float16, GfVec/GfHalf/GfQuat, and GfVec3f with get/set/readArray/writeArray/getElement over attributes, UsdAttributeQuery, layer fields and specs. Not in the public interface yet.

And just like that, Deconstructed began its third installment

ScriptGraph in RCP3 is JS all the way down, but done in a swift way https://github.com/apple/realitykitscripting #WWDC26

13 Jun 2026 14:39 +0000

I know this will sound martian, but it seems like RCP3 is no longer a USD editor but a RealityKit authoring environment powered by the spirit of Clarisse and The Machinery #WWDC26

Gantry v27 beta — powered by USDKit

11 Jun 2026 15:11 +0000

I had a couple of apps that allow downloading transcripts and other resources published during WWDC. I updated them a year ago, and @daveverwer.com pointed out that those tools could better suited for the web, so in case he's right, dunfeyhotel.com https://dunfeyhotel.com

11 Jun 2026 13:47 +0000

In case you were wondering about this year's WWDC focus

10 Jun 2026 12:01 +0000

RCP3 plugins are coming later this year, and I honestly hope the API will not look like this by then 🤕

The update before WWDC. We have been working to make Gantry export options better. On macOS and iOS, you can now explicitly select between usd* flavors when exporting, which is extremely useful in many workflows. Imagine going from Sketchfab to RCP but without the pain.

01 Jun 2026 06:35 +0000

just learned about Gorg Vision, and now I can't stop thinking that Apple Vision Pro needs a way to detach the input sensors from the output https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_2Ad827vmI https://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/07/7-1982/

Conversion to .usd* from .fbx on #visionOS unlocked...

30 Apr 2026 10:53 +0000

And no matter how cool we believe it is to use Gantry on macOS, there is an extra magic when playing with it on iOS https://youtube.com/shorts/Qw0Le0k0zA4 #OpenUSD #RealityKit #iOS

28 Apr 2026 16:08 +0000

Gantry can convert .gltf, .fbx, .obj, .ply formats to .usd(z). It does this natively and on the device, so you are already working on .usd by the time you see the model in the viewport. https://youtube.com/shorts/nx1genFHWx8 #OpenUSD #RealityKit #macOS

24 Apr 2026 10:42 +0000

Gantry needed to be battle tested before it could be considered a useful converter, so we tried it out with tons of 3D models around. Here's a list of the most useful ones so far: https://gantry.reality2713.com/models/

22 Apr 2026 13:34 +0000

Today is the release day of a tool that we wished we had sooner. Gantry converts 3D formats to USDZ using OpenUSD native tools, exports images, optimizes textures, and makes the whole process look easy. will get a 50% discount during the launch.

17 Apr 2026 21:56 +0000

OpenUSD has a closed, enumerable set of SdfValueTypeNames. Swift's type system is open-ended and Turing-complete. RCP cannot support all Swift types—it supports the USD-serializable subset: Swift types that map directly to SdfValueTypeNames, plus special cases like enums and optionals.

I was working outside today, and the terminal was totally unreadable in the sun. Long story short, here is a light skin for Hermes and a skin configurator... https://hermes-skin.reality2713.com https://hermes-skin.reality2713.com/

09 Apr 2026 09:34 +0000

I am not sure what we are doing with RealityKit. It cannot handle relatively complex models and features; the focus on aesthetics and GUI support is excellent, but we require a robustness and industry-standard iteration

07 Apr 2026 20:03 +0000

We may or may not be dealing with App Store rejections at the moment to get something cool out the door...
