Hi, I’m new to AR. I am just experimenting it and seeing if we can do something with it. I found some AR software called Zappar. [https://www.zappar.com/](https://www.zappar.com/)  
To get 3d models into the zappar software I need to make the 3d files .pod. I read that PowerVr is the best way to do that.

I am finding it difficult to find a step by step explanation of how to do this? Would it be possible for someone explain the step by step process of creating a .pod file, that contains 3d information, texturing and animation.

Thank you

P.s. not sure if this is in the correct section.

Hi,

To convert 3D files to the POD format, you will have ot download the PVRGeoPOD utility, available as part of our PowerVR SDK & Tools package. It comes with documentation detailing how to go about exporting into the POD format. The documentation is also available on this website, here:
