Three angles. Assets. Launch video. Direct line to the maker. Pick what fits your story.
One-liner, 100-word lede, and the why behind each. Pick what fits your audience.
The Reality Converter replacement
For: Apple developers, journalists, Reality Converter users.
Apple dropped Reality Converter in 2024 with no first-party replacement. Gantry fills the gap. Converts FBX, glTF, OBJ, STL, and PLY to clean OpenUSD. RealityKit viewport — what you preview is what renders. Live material editing, texture optimization, mipmap generation. macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS. $9.99.
Why this angle works: the Reality Converter narrative is the strongest pull for anyone in the Apple-platform AR space. It's a real gap, and Gantry is the most plausible answer.
Drop GLB, ship to AR Quick Look
For: AR creators, e-commerce 3D, retail product 3D.
Drop a GLB on iPhone. See it in RealityKit. Swap a texture, live preview. Export USDZ. Open in AR Quick Look one tap later. Same on iPad, Mac. Materials convert to USD Preview Surface or MaterialX; you tune per scene. Command line optional. $9.99.
Why this angle works: the iPhone-first workflow is the surprising part of Gantry. Lead with that and the audience is people who weren't waiting for another Mac tool.
$9.99 OpenUSD converter that runs on iPhone
For: Vision Pro hobbyists, casual creators, "drop it in" audience.
Most OpenUSD converters live on Mac, ask you to think about format chains. Gantry: drag a 3D file onto iPhone, see it in RealityKit, change materials, save as USD, USDA, USDC, or USDZ. iPad. Mac. Vision. One purchase. macOS 15+, iOS 26+, iPadOS 26+, visionOS 26+. $9.99.
Why this angle works: for the hobbyist audience the price + multi-device + drag-and-drop story is enough. No format jargon needed.
