Reality Composer USDZ export appears broken

Any USDZ file exported from Reality Composer fails to import into Reality Converter. Every USDZ file I have exported from Composer (even just a cube with a default glossy paint finish anchored on a horizontal surface) fails on import to Converter with the message "Conversion Failed: 1 Error". I suspect that the problem is with Composer and not Converter, since USDZ files created by other means import into Converter just fine.

Steps to repro:

  1. Enable USDZ export in Reality Composer (Preferences/Enable USDZ export)

  2. Add a cube

  3. Export USDZ, current scene only (although this seems to make no difference)

  4. Open Reality Converter

  5. Drag USDZ file from step 3 into the window

  6. Observe error message

Better import diagnostics would be good too.

Hiya,

I am confused. The point of Reality Converter is to convert other file types such as FBX into USDZ, so why are you trying to convert a file that is already USDZ, into USDZ?

I wasn't aware one of the aims was to open USDZ! Looks like you are correct. Never thought to use it a viewer.
