title: How to Convert .USDz formats to .OBJ or .ABC files?
body: <p>I have been trying to build a solution to converting from .USDZ to other [3D formats].
  Using online options you may convert [3D formats] to .USDz using:

  <p>Using Houdini plugins was not successful I was only able to import not export .USDz. </p>
  
  <p>This basic command line converts from OBJ files, Single-frame Alembic (ABC) files, USD file (either .usda or usd.c) to .USDz.</p>
  
  <pre><code>xcrun usdz_converter myFile.obj myFile.usdz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Will this command convert the other way.</p>
  
  <p>I have also found that this command line will convert [.OBJ, .ABC] to .USDz but don't know if it will convert the other way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>usdcat --flatten -o myFIle.abc myFile.usd
  </code></pre>
