USDZ data visualization

Introduction

Visualize (Pixar, Apple) USDZ data on a computer, using Blender. Blender can import the data but the structure should be converted into a mesh. Thus, a small Python script is used to convert it to a ply mesh.

The data/image is a point cloud, thus a mesh needs to be generated.
