Active Oldest Votes. In Blender 2.8: Edit Preferences Addons Check Import-Export: USDZ Export. Improve this answer. Answered Jan 17 '20 at 16:25. Glasses Blender 3D models for download, files in blend with low poly, animated, rigged, game, and VR options. Ideally, Apple would release some kind of open source authoring to manage USDZ, some kind of Blender 3D for USDZ. As 3D artist, I like how Sketchfab 3D online service allowing all kind of 3D formats, including BLEND files. Upload BLEND and it simply works as 3D objects. Anyhow, back to real world, so. Blender does not officially support USDZ as of yet. Currently, the best practice to get a good USDZ model would be to export a glTF/ glb and convert it to USDZ using one of these tools.
Upload OBJ, STL, DAE, GLB, glTF and 50 more file formats and convert to USDZ

Issues with USDZ file?

- Downscale the resolution of the model's textures while exporting
- Simplify geometry and reduce materials count. Try the Vectary Simplify tool or downscale material size in the Vectary export menu.
