ShapeNet Importer

Deprecated

The omni.isaac.shapenet extension is no longer maintained. To import ShapeNet models, use the standard OBJ file import procedure instead.

Learning Objectives

After completing this tutorial, you will have learned:

  • An overview of 3D models from the ShapeNet database
  • How to import ShapeNet models as OBJ files

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with basic Isaac Sim operations.
  • Basic knowledge of 3D model formats (OBJ files).

Overview

This tutorial covers how to import 3D models from the ShapeNet database into Isaac Sim. Since the dedicated extension is deprecated, the standard OBJ import procedure is used instead.

Since the dedicated ShapeNet importer extension is deprecated, follow these steps:

  1. Download models from ShapeNet in OBJ format
  2. Import them as standard OBJ files in Isaac Sim (File > Import)
  3. Adjust scale, materials, and physics properties as needed

Summary

This tutorial covered the following topics:

  1. Overview of the ShapeNet database
  2. OBJ import as an alternative procedure
