Overview

Omniverse Kit SDK is a toolkit for building native Omniverse applications and microservices. It leverages a framework that provides a wide variety of functionality through a set of light-weight extensions. These stand-alone extensions are plugins authored in Python or C++. Kit is a flexible and extensible development platform for both Omniverse Apps and microservices. Run it with a UI, or headless to create a microservice. Use the UI engine to write an entirely customizable UI application. For better performance or to access C++ APIs, add lower-level C++ plugins to extensions and connect to the UI through binding. These extensions include the icons, images, and configuration they need to run individually.

FEATURES:

  • USD Library Integration: Kit is deeply connected to USD libraries and regularly updated to match public releases. The USD API is available in Kit Extensions to create native tools.
  • Pixar Hydra Viewport: Kit supports Hydra delegates such as Storm and Embree, plus Omniverse delegates such as NVIDIA RTX Renderer and IRAY Renderer. Coupled with NVIDIA MDL, you can easily create physically accurate renderings of USD data.
  • UI Framework: Kit includes a UI framework called OmniUI that allows users to create new widgets, windows and graphs easily. It also allows developers to create extensions or apps that can be easily themed quickly. The UI framework on Python 3 allows fast, hot reloadable editing.
  • SDK Integrations: Kit Extensions give the freedom and flexibility to access NVIDIA core technologies such as PhysX, Blast, Flow, Audio2Face, CloudXR, DLSS, and more.
