Usdz export - losing proper file structure

Workshop Technical issues and bugs
1

when exporting a model to usdz, meshes and their names are not retained properly:

  • each independent mesh is renamed to mesh_0, mesh_1, and so on.
  • meshes are merged with other meshes that share the same material, destroying their isolation altogether.
  • topology quality takes a hit (this is expected i suppose, but would be nice to have a quality slider)

i have filed a ticket (#125290) a few months ago. i am again requesting that this be fixed, instead of prioritizing your new features rather than existing export bugs.

Hi @spencersmitty,

Thanks for following up and flagging this again.

We’ve confirmed that the USDZ export behavior you described is a bug on our side. We understand how this can affect workflows that rely on preserving object names.

The issue has been recorded and linked to your support ticket, but we don’t currently have a confirmed timeline for a fix. We’ll follow up through your existing ticket if there are any updates.
