USD files are a 3D model format designed specifically for the exchange of 3D data between different systems within a standard and easy-to-implement format.
Within a USD file are the various data elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, normals, and texture coordinates. Along with this basic geometry, other important information is stored, such as camera and other environmental properties.
Support for exporting 3D content to the USD format can be found in certain 3D modeling applications, such as Blender, Maya, and Houdini.

FBX files are an open 3D file format developed by Autodesk for use with their Maya and 3Ds Max applications. An FBX file may contain any number of 3D objects, their associated geometry, materials, textures, animations, and more, all within a single convenient package.
The content of an FBX file is a mix of binary and ASCII text, producing a format that is both human-readable and compact. Due to their compact size, ease of use, and widespread support, FBX files are a popular choice for creating 3D animations and are also a staple in the videogame development scene.
The development of the FBX format continues to this day, with new features being included in each release. Along with being used within Autodesk's own editing solutions, FBX files can also be opened and edited in other popular 3D modeling applications, such as Blender.
