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.
A converter for Apple-platform 3D
For: Apple developers, journalists, technical artists.
Apple-platform 3D still needs a converter. Gantry converts FBX, glTF, OBJ, STL, and PLY to OpenUSD. Inspect the model in a real-time RealityKit viewport, edit materials live, and balance texture size and detail before you ship. Export USD, USDA, USDC, or a portable USDZ that opens in Quick Look. macOS, iOS, iPadOS, visionOS.
Why this angle works: most 3D doesn't arrive as USDZ. Anyone shipping to Apple platforms hits the conversion step first, and Gantry puts it in one app with a RealityKit preview.
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 idea on iPad and Mac. Tune materials and textures per channel, live. $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. 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.
