Export 3D Garments as FBX and USDZ: The New Black AI

A 3D garment generated from an image is only useful where it can be opened. The New Black AI now converts any 3D creation to the format your pipeline reads: FBX for Unreal, Unity and Blender, USDZ for augmented reality on iPhone, OBJ for everything else, STL or 3MF for printing, glTF unpacked.

What the export does

Open a 3D creation and, in its Edit tab, pick a format and convert it. The file downloads in about fifteen seconds, textures included where the format carries them. The original GLB stays as it is, so a creation can be exported to several formats over time.

The formats

• FBX: Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, and most animation and game pipelines.
• USDZ: AR Quick Look on iPhone and iPad: a garment placed in a customer's room from a link.
• OBJ: the universal interchange format, read by nearly every 3D tool.
• STL and 3MF: 3D printing.
• glTF: the web format, unpacked with its textures.

How the 3D creation is made

Image to 3D turns a product image into a 3D model, 10 credits per conversion. A sharper source helps: upscaling the image before the conversion gives the model more to read. The export itself is a download, not a generation.

Why it matters for a brand

A virtual showroom in Unreal, a product configurator in Unity, an AR try-on on iPhone, a printed prototype: each wants its own file, and each used to mean a 3D artist and a week. Now the image of a garment becomes the asset, and the asset becomes every file.
