Overview#

The omni.kit.renderer.init extension handles graphics subsystem initialization for Omniverse Kit applications. This extension serves as the early-loading component that prepares the graphics foundation while other extensions can continue loading in parallel. It manages GPU foundation startup, provides coordination for extensions that depend on graphics resources being ready, and offers both synchronous and asynchronous initialization modes. The extension loads with high priority to ensure graphics resources are available when needed by the broader rendering pipeline, with parallel startup enabled by default on Windows to improve application launch performance.
