I've been researching the overlooked work that Reality Composer Pro does with open-source technologies like OpenUSD, and I'm glad this resonates. Thanks @salestech.bsky.social & @pixelpartner.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy visales.de/openusd-ohne...

uncannyuse now has schema pages for Reality Composer Pro components—showing the exact USDA block RCP writes, field-by-field with types and sparse-authoring behavior, plus annotated fixture examples. 20 components covered so far. https://uncannyuse.com/features/accessibility-component/schema

Reality Composer Pro's component inspector looks like a RealityKit editor. It isn't. https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-inspector-components/

USD syntax highlighting extension for @zed.dev has been officially approved; you can check the source here while it propagates to the official registry 🧊🧊🧊 https://github.com/elkraneo/zed-usd

Imagine using Reality Composer Pro in light mode 😎

We need a "caniuse" for RealityKit & RCP. That's what @kahunamoore.bsky.social commented after yesterday's post, and it is such a great idea that it had to be done uncannyuse.com

RCP exposes less than half of RealityKit's component surface. 28 of 61 types. 5 visionOS-exclusive. There are 6 brand-new components in version 26.0, but none are available in the RCP version yet. Next on the Deconstructed series. https://observablehq.com/d/4e1ffd6d2df015f9

Deconstructing Reality Composer Pro: Logbook. Things learned so far that are too half-baked for a post but valuable enough to remember. https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-logbook/

RCP transforms are persisted in the USD file as a series of xformOp. RCP also creates and stores a custom rotationEulerHint, which includes a precalculated Euler (radians) derived from the orientation quaternion. https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-inspector-basics/

The .realitycomposerpro "document" is a bundle inside an SPM package. Not the folder you see in Finder—the actual document is Package.realitycomposerpro/, which contains metadata, with Sources/ next to it for Xcode integration. https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-document-type/

Reality Composer Pro silently rescales every primitive to 20cm bounding. USD defaults are 2m. Deliberate choice—AR table-scale. Undocumented, but obvious in hindsight. https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-scene-navigator/

To better understand the challenges and decisions that produced Reality Composer Pro, I'm creating a clone of it: https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-intro/
