How to use

  • Open a scene you want to optimize
  • Open an extension window
  • The current view in the viewport is used to scan for visible objects, so make sure your camera is positioned correctly.
  • Make sure settings are set correctly. Hover over each option to read about what it does.
  • Click Optimize button.

Hide if contains in title and Show if contains in title fields support a regular expressions (regex) that allows you to filter any object based on its title, with any pattern, simple or complex.

Regex examples:

  • (^Abs.*) - all names starting with Abs
  • (.*nt$) - all names ending with nt
  • (.*ph.*) - contains ph
  • (.*\d.*) - contains any number
  • (^((?!tree).)*$) - any title that does not contain tree.

You can also combine multiple conditions:

  • (.*El.*|t1$) - Has El OR ends with t1
  • (.*El.*)(t1$) - Has El AND ends with t1

Linking with an Omniverse app

For a better developer experience, it is recommended to create a folder link named app to the Omniverse Kit app installed from Omniverse Launcher. A convenience script to use is included.

Run:

> link_app.bat

There is also an analogous link_app.sh for Linux. 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 code

You can also just pass a path to create link to:

> link_app.bat --path "C:/Users/bob/AppData/Local/ov/pkg/create-2022.1.3"
