How to convert USDC to OBJ - blender

Have created some USDZ files. Our designer doesn't have access to original obj files.
We are trying to convert these files to GLB for Facebook.
When unwrapping USDZ files we get USDC, not OBJ. How can we convert USDC to OBJ?
Details are appreciated as will relay to our designer.

You can try to use one of the Maya USD plugin here:

You can also easily use Unreal's USD import and then export as an OBJ. Worked very reliably, converting about 97% of our files.

Generate sas7bdat files from a pandas dataframe

I would like to know if there's any python library that supports this conversion, currently the options i've found are SASpy, csv or SQL database but was unsuccessful.
This is not really a programming question but hope it won't be an issue.
I've found this post:
Export pandas dataframe to SAS sas7bdat format
But was hoping to find any updates on new libraries that support sas7bdat files creation and how licensing works for SASpy.
The sas7bdat is very hard to write. The read is fairly doable (but pretty hard) but the write is brutal. SAS costs a LOT of money and cannot be purchased (it is leased). My suggestions:
Use one of the products by companies that have done it. Some examples: CoyRoc (SSIS adaptor) $, StatTransfer $, SPSS $$$, SAS (lots of dollar signs). WPS might be able to do it but they save to their format to avoid the mess. They probably also support sas7bdat export.
Do not use sas7bdat format. Consider something else like SAS Transport format. Look at my github repository (savian-net) for C# code that can do it. Translate to Python or find a python library that can handle SAS Transport.
The sas7bdat is a binary, proprietary protocol that is 100% not published anywhere. Any docs are guesses based upon binary sleuthing. It is based on an old mainframe format and 'likely remnants' appear to be included. My suggestion is to avoid it like the plague and find an alternative.
An alternative to using xport as Stu suggested - as of Viya 2021.2.6, SAS supports reading externally generated parquet files via the new parquet import engine. As such, you could export the file to parquet via Python then directly import that into SAS and save it as a .sas7bdat file.

Cannot DataSet be exported TensorFlow CSV format

i prepared my dataset and created a version of it. Then i tried to export dataset in TensorFlow Object Detection CSV format but when i got output of given zip file. But i see that there is nothing inside the zip file except "README.roboflow.txt" and "README.Dataset.txt"
Is there anything i'm doing wrong or it's in process of development ? or it's a bug?
Thanks
I just tried this and was able to get my test, train, valid in the folder which also included the README.Dataset.txt and README.roboflow.txt.
Can you try again or share the email you used to build this project so one of us Roboflow staff members can take a look at it? You can feel free to dm it to me in our forum if it still doesn't work.

Reading .data file using Pandas

I am working on a Deep Learning project, the data was provided to me in a file with the ".data" extension. Able to read the data from the file using the Pandas "read_csv" function. I tried to search about the file properties on the web, but i am not clear about the file properties, usage, etc. Here are the few questions i have,
What is the ".data" file?
How they are created? (Mean exported from any application or database)
Is this the correct way to read the ".data" file using the pd.read_csv method? (Tried read_table as well)
Is there any other way to read the ".data" file?
Recently i found a solution for .data files using pandas.
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_fwf("example.data")
For more details check here.
I just ran into a .data file in the wild myself. I've been able to view it in any text editor (notepad, visual studio code, jupyter lab, etc). This helped determine what the separator should be. Mine was not tab-delimited as mrinali mentioned, but that's not to say that there aren't any tab-delimited .data files. Mine was space-delimited, so I just specified this as "sep" in panda's .read_csv() method:
pd.read_csv('<your_path>', sep=' ')
A DATA file is a data file used by Analysis Studio, a statistical analysis and data mining program. It contains mined data in a plain text, tab-delimited format, including an Analysis Studio file header. DATA files are commonly used to store data for offline data analysis when not connected to an Analysis Studio server, but may also be used in online mode.
Due to their tab-delimited format, DATA files may be imported using pandas via read_csv function once their header information is stripped.
HOW TO OPEN A .DATA FILE?
Launch a .data file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .data file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .data files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .data file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .data file will open the correct application.

using assimp_cmd to dump fbx model file and render

I want to parse the FBX model files with assimp, firstly, I need to generate some *.json which including the whole FBX model file information, and then rendering it through webGL in browser.
So far, I know we can dump the information of a fbx file, it will generate a .assxml or a *.assbin, it seems that the generated file inlucding all the information of a FBX model file. I wonder if it's possible that I can converting the *.assxml or *.assbin to *.json as above mentioned.
Please check https://github.com/assimp/assimp2json to solve this. There are plans to integrate this into assimp, but time is a really critical resource. So help is welcome :-).

Import Blender Files to OpenSCAD

I'm just new to this subject so I'll say sorry in advance if this will sound like a stupid question.
Can I design an object in Blender and then import it into OpenSCAD?
I read that it's possible...but I guess it will import it only as one mere object without recognizing all the components? Furthermore, will it generate a C++ code or anything?
You can import STL files generated in Blender into OpenSCAD. It will only be recognized as one object, but you can manipulate different parts in a limited way using intersections and such. OpenSCAD does not generate C++ code. After importing the object into OpenSCAD, you can manipulate it, animate it, and export it in various formats.
