Omniverse Gaussian Splat to USD

Use the usd-convert-gsplat Python library and CLI to convert 3D Gaussian Splat scene files into Pixar USD artifacts for Omniverse and USD-based pipelines.

When to Use

Use this skill when a user asks to:

• Convert .ply or .spz Gaussian Splat content to .usd, .usda, .usdc, or .usdz.
• Choose the right usd-convert-gsplat CLI flags for orientation, up-axis, RGB-to-SH generation, or scale generation.
• Explain or troubleshoot the converter's Python API, input expectations, output schema, or code locations.
• Map converter behavior to Omniverse/OpenUSD concepts such as ParticleField3DGaussianSplat.

Do not use this skill for unrelated USD conversion tasks such as CAD, URDF, mesh, material, or texture conversion unless Gaussian Splat content is the source data.
