This project is a template for developing own extensions for Omniverse Kit based apps.
For better developer experience it is recommended to create a folder link named app to the Omniverse Kit app installed from Omniverse Launcher. Convenience script to use is included.
Run:
> link_app.bat
If successful you should see app folder link in the root of this repo.
If multiple Omniverse apps is installed script will select recommended one. Or you can explicitly pass an app:
> link_app.bat --app create
You can also just pass a path to create link to:
> link_app.bat --path "C:/Users/bob/AppData/Local/ov/pkg/create-2021.3.4"
Open this folder using Visual Studio Code. It will suggest you to install few extensions that will make python experience better.
exts - is a folder where you can add new extensions. You need to add it extension search path of omniverse Kit based app. (Extension Manager -> Gear Icon -> Extension Search Path).
Alternatively, you can launch your app from console with this folder added to search path and your extension enabled, e.g.:
> app\omni.create.bat --ext-folder exts --enable omni.hello.world
Look for "omni.hello.world" extension in extension manager and enable it. Try applying changes to any python files, it will hot-reload and you can observe results immediately.
Direct link to a git repository can be added to Omniverse Kit extension search paths.
Link might look like this: git://github.com/[user]/[your_repo].git?branch=main&dir=exts
Notice exts is repo subfolder with extensions. More information can be found in "Git URL as Extension Search Paths" section of developers manual.
