@mlimper_cg if by working you mean producing an output then yes. however it was proven by multiple entities that they employee drones of 3D artists that do AI generated models manually :) so it is very misleading to say the least.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@Azadux This will strip AO textures for example as the blender shader doesn’t support it. There is Apples usdzconvert python script which is better suited for this.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@NimaZeighami Now give us Webm texture support in USD Archives (usdz)

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@ProtonDrive finally. now please also bring it to macOS

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@sdw @MaxRovensky I would argue their usb c ruling was actually good. But overall I agree.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@ProtonDrive @ProtonPrivacy it's sadly way too slow to use for large files. also needs a sync progress. which file is it uploading and downloading and at what speed? it's crazy that is not considered an mvp requirement for a product that you are also aiming at businesses.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@BlakeJakely For the rest of us there is always the simulator :)

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@WillFaucherVFX @ssh4net @HugoCGuerra @WSJ Yeah but you know AI 😝

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@NimaZeighami Such a shame how this product was handled and abandoned by RED.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@tina__nigro Very true. That’s why I think the comparison also doesn’t really hold. USD and glTF have both very different goals.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@tina__nigro https://t.co/105vdqzkAk this already offers more than USD does for iOS. meshopt, draco, clearcoat, unlit, basisu ...

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@tina__nigro it's made for large scenes / collections of objects. it has a clear purpose for large animation or VFX. for single objects / web applications at least I see little benefit with USD over glTF. up to this day we still do not have a standard way of rendering a USD on the web.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@warrenm @natbro We have 15 tickets with them on a variety of issues across SceneKit, RealityKit and ARKit. 0 have been replied to or addressed. best part is one of them we know multiple people filed and found that there is a clear memory leak in their API. Xcode shows as much. @Apple

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@Azadux I so wish they would have a global IO module. I also often pick the wrong entry to load OBJ/USD or glTF ...

@fsiddi This is horrible. If you guys haven't done so already I would reach out to the team @Cloudflare who I am sure would love to help out an open source community in need.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@ElliottRound @m_xrstudio @INVOLV3D_ hey @ElliottRound fantastic results. If you guys are interested - since you mentioned mobile capture next let's talk on how to possibly work together as we already have a full blown scanning app for iOS and we are always looking to take it to the next level.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

@nebulousflynn actually there is if you are using Unity. extension by @aras_p is currently getting some editing capabilities added.

[Lightfield Industries @LightfieldArt]

On objects like this the mesh is still way superior. You can map it with high resolution textures that do not fall apart once you zoom in close like GS currently does. Where GS comes in is with objects that are hard to capture using PG. Then again you might as well take a high res video. Unless you really need to to be ready for XR.
