USDZ file does not work properly on SceneKit

Question

I am trying to load a .usdz model with transparency in SceneKit. It works perfectly in RealityKit but in the case of SceneKit I only get a black sphere.

How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

In order to see a material of USDZ model in SceneKit just turn the default lighting on.

@IBOutlet var sceneView: ARSCNView!

sceneView.autoenablesDefaultLighting = true
