Connect Sample

The stage created by the HelloWorld Sample

Overview

Build your own NVIDIA Omniverse Connector with prebuilt source code samples that use Pixar USD and Omniverse Client Library APIs.

Run build.bat to download the USD and Omniverse dependencies, generate the Visual Studio solution file, and build it.

If interested in what dependencies are necessary to build your own Connector, examine either the premake.lua build configuration file or the output project files in the _compiler folder.

Omni CLI

A command line utility to manage files on a Nucleus Server (omnicli.bat).

This program was initially created to exercise most of the Omniverse Client Library API, but has grown to be a useful utility to interact with Nucleus servers. Typing help will produce a menu that shows the many functions available. Among the most useful are the move/copy functions which can transfer data to and from servers.

HelloWorld (C++)

A sample program that creates a USD stage on a Nucleus server (run_sample.bat).

The sample demonstrates how to:

  • connect to an Omniverse server

  • create a USD stage

  • create a physics scene to define simulation parameters

  • create a polygonal box and add it to the stage and make it a dynamic rigid

  • create a cube and add it to the stage and make it a dynamic rigid

  • create a quad and add it to the stage and make it a collider

  • upload an MDL material and its textures to an Omniverse server

  • bind an MDL and USD Preview Surface material to the box

  • add a distant and dome light to the stage

  • create Nucleus checkpoints

  • move and rotate the box with live updates

  • disconnect from an Omniverse server

  • print verbose Omniverse logs

  • open an existing stage and find a mesh to do live edits

HelloWorld (Python)

A sample program with the same functionality of the C++ HelloWorld sample written in Python (run_py_sample.bat).

OmniUSDAWatcher (C++)

The Omniverse USDA Watcher is a command line program that keeps an updated USDA file on local disk that maps to a USD resident on a Nucleus server.

It takes two arguments, the USD stage URL to watch and the output USDA stage URL:

  • Acceptable forms

    • URL: omniverse://localhost/Users/test/helloworld.usd

    • URL: C:\USD\helloworld.usda

    • A relative path based on the CWD of the program (helloworld.usda)

The “watcher” demonstrates how to:

  • Initialize Omniverse

    • Set the Omniverse Client log callback (using a lambda)

    • Set the Omniverse Client log level

    • Initialize the Omniverse Client library

    • Register a connection status callback

  • Set the USD stage URL as live

  • Open the USD stage

  • Create and register the Sdf layer reload, layer change, and USD notice listeners

  • Subscribe to file changes with omniClientStatSubscribe

  • Start a thread that loops, receiving live changes from other clients

    • When the stage is modified it’s written out to the specified USDA

  • The main thread loops on keyboard input, waiting for a ‘q’ or ESC

  • Cleanup the callbacks (unsubscribe and revoke)

  • Destroy the stage object

  • Shutdown the Omniverse Client library

For example, to monitor the stage that the HelloWorld sample creates by default: run_omniUsdaWatcher.bat omniverse://localhost/Users/test/helloworld.usd C:\USD\helloworld.usda

OmniUsdaWatcher in action

OmniSimpleSensor (C++)

The Omniverse Simple Sensor example demonstrates how to connect external input to a USD in Nucleus. This could effectively be a large number of inputs that report current values for IoT sensors or could locations from robots and a real-time synchronization of the data in the virtual world is desired.

It takes three arguments, the Nucleus server path, the number of inputs and a timeout value.

run_OmniSimpleSensor.bat  <server path> <number of inputs> <timeout>

  • Acceptable forms

    • Server Path: omniverse://localhost/Users/test (a location on a Nucleus server)

    • Number of Inputs: 4 (integer value of 1 to any number)

    • Timeout: -1 or 20 (-1 is for infinity to run until killed, otherwise a number in seconds)

    • Example - run_OmniSimpleSensor omniverse://localhost/Users/test 27 -1

There are two parts to this project.

OmniSimpleSensor will build a USD with a number of boxes (meshes) on one layer.

  • Initialize Omniverse

  • Check for an existing SimpleSensorExample.usd stage at the <server path> location, if it exists, delete it

  • Create SimpleSensorExample.usd at <server path>

  • Build a simple array of box meshes, starting with /World/Box_0 then /World/Box_1 and so on

  • Save the USD

  • Destroy the stage object

  • Shutdown the Omniverse Client library

OmniSensorThread is then started for each ‘input’ specified in the command line.

  • Initialize Omniverse

  • Open SimpleSensorExample.usd at <server path>

  • Find the box mesh in USD this process will change

  • Create a worker thread to update the box’s color every 300ms

  • In the main loop, wait until the timeout occurs, then

    • Stop the worker thread

    • Destroy the stage object

    • Shutdown the Omniverse Client library

For example, if 6 inputs are asked for then there will be 6 OmniSensorThread processes running, independently of each other. The OmniSensorThread will launch a thread that will update the color of its assigned box at a given frequency (300ms in the code, but this can be altered). Opening the stage (look for SimpleSensorExample.usd in the Nucleus location specified) and turning on Live mode in Create or View, the boxes will be changing colors at some regular intervals.

This project can easily be extended to change the transform of the boxes or to add some metadata with a custom string attached to the USD or do change visibility states.

Some things to note here:

  • Using separate processes for each input, allows the USD to be changed independently

  • This example could be re-written to have one main process and a bunch of worker threads launched for each input. In this case, there would be a need to use a mutex when writing data to Nucleus through one Omni Client Library instance (there is one instance per process). This will ensure that the writing to USD via the Omni Client Library resource is dedicated. Keeping the mutex around the smallest bit of code writing to USD is recommended in this case to prevent thread starvation (especially when the frequency of input is high).

  • Reading USD via Omni Client Library does not have this issue and multiple threads in the same process can read from a USD, even the same layer in USD, without a mutex.

Connection Paths of the Simple Sensor Example

Launcher

To find where the Connect Sample is installed, find the Connect Sample under the Library:Connectors tab, click the hamburger icon and select “Settings”:

Go to the Settings from the hamburger menu button

Clicking the folder icon next to the Install Path will open a file browser window to where it is installed:

Click the folder icon to open the install location of the Connect Sample

Configuring MSVC (Advanced)

When prebuild.bat is executed (by itself or through build.bat) a version of the Microsoft Visual Studio Compiler and the Windows 10 SDK are downloaded and referenced by the generated Visual Studio projects. If a user wants the projects to use an installed version of Visual Studio then run configure_win_buildtools.bat first. This script should find vswhere.exe and then use it to discover which MSVC compiler to use. If it does not you can edit the deps/host-deps.packman.xml file’s buildtools source path to the folder on your PC which contains the VC subfolder (normally something like C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/BuildTools).

Changing the Windows 10 SDK (Advanced)

If a user wants the generated projects to use a different Windows 10 SDK than what is downloaded then the configure_win_buildtools.bat file will automatically search for one using the winsdk.bat Microsoft tool and insert the correct paths into the deps/host-deps.packman.xml file. If the winsdk.bat file doesn’t do what is required, edit these fields in the deps/host-deps.packman.xml file:

  • winsdk

  • winsdk_bin

  • winsdk_include

  • winsdk_lib

Note that an installed Windows SDK will have the actual version in all of these paths, for example include/10.0.17763.0 rather than just include

Creating a Windows USD App from the Omniverse Connect Sample

This section describes how to create a simple application that will open a USD stage located on an Omniverse Nucleus server based on the USD and Omniverse Client Libraries retrieved from the Connect Sample. Once the stage is open it will simply report the stage up-axis, the stage linear units, and list all of the prim node paths.

Dependencies for Omniverse Client Library and USD

Both the Omniverse Client Library and NVIDIA’s modified USD SDK are required, so the first thing to do is to copy them into the project structure of the simple app.

From the Connect Sample root folder, these two folders should be copied (after the dependencies are fetched using either prebuild.bat or build.bat):

  • _build\target-deps\nv_usd

  • _build\target-deps\omni_client_library

Both of these dependencies contain symbolic links, so care must be taken when copying them into the simple app’s folders. robocopy (distributed with Windows 10) does a good job of deep-copying symbolic links. The deps folder will hold the USD and Client Library dependencies for the application. Here are a couple command lines that can be run from within the Connect Sample’s root folder, note that in this case the simple project is located in the X:\tmp\OmniUSDReader directory:

  • robocopy /S _build\target-deps\nv_usd X:\tmp\OmniUSDReader\deps\nv_usd

  • robocopy /S _build\target-deps\omni_client_library X:\tmp\OmniUSDReader\deps\omni_client_library

Project Settings

Because this application uses USD that means it uses Boost and TBB which require libraries, preprocessor definitions, and additional options. Also note that we only provide the 64 bit x64 platform binaries, so don’t try to build for the 32 bit platform in Visual Studio when you generate a new console project (for this example at least).

Linker Settings

Visual Studio Linker Options
  1. Additional Library Directories:
    • Debug

      • deps\nv_usd\debug\lib;deps\omni_client_library\debug

    • Release

      • deps\nv_usd\release\lib;deps\omni_client_library\release

  2. Additional Dependencies:
    • Debug

      • ar.lib;arch.lib;gf.lib;js.lib;kind.lib;pcp.lib;plug.lib;sdf.lib;tf.lib;trace.lib;usd.lib;usdGeom.lib;vt.lib;work.lib;usdShade.lib;usdLux.lib;omniclient.lib;python37.lib;boost_python37-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_68.lib

    • Release

    • Note that the boost python library is the only difference between debug and release

C/C++ Compiler Settings

Visual Studio C++ Options
  1. Additional Options (to silence warnings):

    • /wd4244 /wd4305

  2. Additional Include Directories:
    • Debug

      • deps\nv_usd\debug\include;deps\omni_client_library\include

    • Release

      • deps\nv_usd\release\include;deps\omni_client_library\include

  3. Preprocessor Definitions:
    • Debug

      • BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK;NOMINMAX;TBB_USE_DEBUG=1

    • Release

      • BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK;NOMINMAX;TBB_USE_DEBUG=0

Post-build Event to Copying Runtime Dependencies

There are a lot of runtime dependencies, to make things easy they are simply copied to the same folder as the output executable. A batch file that runs after the app is built makes this convenient and free of errors.

Visual Studio C++ Options
  1. Post-Build Event:
    • Debug

      • scripts\copy_binary_deps.bat debug $(OutputPath)

    • Release

      • scripts\copy_binary_deps.bat release $(OutputPath)

The copy_binary_deps.bat script is run after each build and puts the runtime dependencies in the correct place. It should be copied into the project’s scripts folder:

@echo off
:: copy the USD and OmniClient libs to the $(OutputPath)
:: parameters:
:: 1. debug or release
:: 2. $(OutputPath)

set BUILD_CONFIG=%1
set OUTPUT_PATH=%2
set RC_OPTS=/NP /NJH /NJS /NS /NC /NFL /NDL

echo Copying deps\nv_usd\%BUILD_CONFIG%\lib contents to %OUTPUT_PATH%
robocopy /S deps\nv_usd\%BUILD_CONFIG%\lib %OUTPUT_PATH% %RC_OPTS%

echo Copying deps\omni_client_library\%BUILD_CONFIG% contents to %OUTPUT_PATH%
robocopy /S deps\omni_client_library\%BUILD_CONFIG% %OUTPUT_PATH% %RC_OPTS%

exit /B 0

      • Set the Omniverse Client log callback

      • Set the Omniverse Client log level

      • Initialize the Omniverse Client library

      • Register an Omniverse Client status callback

    • Open the USD stage

    • Print the stage’s up-axis

    • Print the stage’s linear units, or “meters per unit” setting

    • Traverse the stage prims and print the path of each one

    • Destroy the stage object

    • Shutdown the Omniverse Client library

        • These were all the same underlying issue: When a layer is overwritten in live mode it was cleared and set as ‘dirty’ which would cause the next “Save()” (which happens every frame in live mode) to save the cleared layer back to the Omniverse server.

    • 1.13.4

      • OM-31830: omniClientCopy() with HTTP/S3 provider as source

      • OM-33321: Use Omni Cache 2.4.1+ new reverse proxy feature for HTTPS caching

    • 1.13.3

      • OM-33483: Don’t crash when trying to save a layer that came from a mount

      • OM-27233: Support loading non-USD files (abc, drc, etc)

      • OM-4613 & OM-34150: Support saving usda files as ascii

        • Note this change means live updates no longer work with usda files (though they technically never did – it would silently convert them to usdc files).
