Feature: ID:007 - Non-Visual Materials - Base#

Description#

This feature describes the requirements necessary to have materials with non-visual sensor attributes that enable accurate sensor simulation (such as radar, lidar, thermal imaging). These attributes define material properties that affect sensor response but are not visible to the human eye.

Test Process#

  • Obtain the usd sdk

  • Confirm your asset in question has passed validation

  • In your commandline type:

    • path/to/usdsdk/scripts/usdrecord <path to usdfile.usd> <path to output.png>

  • Open up path/to/output.png

  • Expected Result:

    • Confirm it is NOT empty or completely black

    • Material attributes should be properly bound and non-time-varying

Comments#

This feature enables accurate sensor simulation by providing material attributes that affect non-visual sensors like radar, lidar, and thermal imaging systems. The requirements ensure that materials have the necessary properties for realistic sensor response while maintaining consistency with visual materials.
