10. Adding Camera#

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to add and mount cameras in MetaSim. –sim

Common Usage#

python get_started/10_mount_camera.py  --sim <simulator>

you can also render in the headless mode by adding --headless flag, only supported in IsaacGym and IsaacLab.

This script sets up a simulated scene and records video from two different camera perspectives

  • Third-person view: A fixed camera placed above and behind the robot, observing the scene from a distance.

  • Ego-centric view: A camera mounted directly on the robot’s torso_link, capturing the environment from the robot’s own perspective.

Both cameras use the PinholeCameraCfg configuration and record images at a resolution of 1024×1024.You can freely modify the camera pose (position and orientation) in the script to explore how it affects the rendered views.

You will get the following Videos:#
