Cannot find 'Sd Render Var Ptr' Action Graph Node

Dear Forum,

I am currently utilizing Isaac Sim version 2023.1.1 and have encountered a couple of issues that I need assistance with:

1. I require the ‘Sd Render Var Ptr’ node from the omni.syntheticdata extension to publish RTX lidar point clouds via ROS. However, I am unable to locate this node in my current workflow. Through my research, I found that my omni.syntheticdata extension is at version 0.4.10, which might be the root cause of the issue since the latest version available is 0.6.5.

Despite attempts to update through the Extension Manager within Isaac Sim, it shows that the 0.4.10 local version is up-to-date. Could you guide me on how to update the omni.syntheticdata extension to the latest version?

2. In the meantime, is there a workaround or a method to use the ‘Sd Render Var Ptr’ node in the ActionGraph with the installed version 0.4.10?

Any assistance or guidance you can provide on these matters would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your timely response.

hi mini4,

for Isaac 4.0, omini,syntheticadata is 0.6.7, so suggest to upgrade from 2023 to 4.0
Also ,you can try “UP TO DATE” from this extension menu, not sure can update to 0.6.

for “Sd Render Var Ptr” node, seems not included in the actiongraph, check internally and feedback later

hi mini4,
"Sd Render Var Ptr " is a internal node of actiongraph, user no need to use it directly, you can run script:
./python.sh standalone_examples/api/omni.isaac.ros_bridge/rtx_lidar.py and view graph, it inside.

this code also showcase the ros2 topic for /point_cloud
