Share & Export¶

../../_images/vizid_share.png — The Share & Export panel.¶

Share & Export is the dedicated sharing editor of VIZid Suite. It exports the product – with its current materials and CMF Look baked in – to a web viewer format (glTF) or to augmented reality (USDZ), so a client can review a product in any browser or on a phone. Files are written to the project’s render folder and named with the same filename token engine as the VIZid Gloss render manager.

Share & Export runs in the dedicated Share editor. In stock Blender it falls back to a VIZid Share tab in the 3D Viewport sidebar (N).

Export Options¶

Two options at the top of the panel apply to both export types:

Export: What is exported – Whole Scene, Selected (only the selected objects) or Visible (only visible objects).
Open Folder After: Opens the output folder when the export finishes.

Every export is saved to the project render folder. The filename is built from the {project} and {file} tokens, and a numeric suffix is added so an existing file is never overwritten.

Export for Web (glTF)¶

The Web viewer (glTF) box exports a glTF file for an in-browser viewer, with the current materials baked in.

Format: Single .glb – one self-contained binary file, best for the web – or .gltf + textures – a .gltf with separate texture files.
Compress (Draco): Applies Draco mesh compression for smaller files. On by default.
Export for Web: Writes the glTF file using the current scope and format.

The export applies modifiers and uses a Y-up axis convention suited to web viewers.

Export for AR (USDZ)¶

The Augmented reality (USDZ) box exports a USDZ file for viewing the product on a phone (Quick Look / AR).

Export for AR: Writes a .usdz file, with materials, using the current scope.

USD export depends on the running build. If it is unavailable, the panel shows a notice and the operator reports an error instead of writing a file.

Relation to Rendering¶

Share & Export writes the live scene as it stands – its materials, CMF Look and visible objects – rather than rendering frames. For final still imagery, use the VIZid Gloss render manager instead; Share is for handing the interactive model to a client for web or AR review.
