Apple pushes for open standard for 3D models – OpenUSD. Alliance for OpenUSD is backed by Pixar, Adobe, Autodesk, NVIDIA and Apple.
The alliance seeks to standardize the 3D ecosystem by advancing the capabilities of Open Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD). By promoting greater interoperability of 3D tools and data, the alliance will enable developers and content creators to describe, compose, and simulate large-scale 3D projects and build an ever-widening range of 3D-enabled products and services.
