Topic Description

I’m working on a project for drone mapping in outdoor environments and it’s planned to use IsaacSim with the PegasusSim framework for drone simulation. The drone with the sensors is already working but I didn’t find any process of actually creating larger worlds >300x300m that contain a terrain with height difference, earth, grass etc. Are there any demos for someone that is not well versed in design?

Please check if the discussion in How to create custom environment and load in Issac sim helps.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll try out the method mentioned in the provided post but I suspect the 3d reconstruction might not be ideal for spotting height difference in the area that are important for Lidar based applications.
