The Simulation SIG (Special Interest Group for Simulation) is a collection of individuals who are invested in the development and continuous improvement of the O3D engine related to physics, animation, AI, robotics, and other topics related to simulation. It is comprised of physics, animation, AI, and simulation experts, developers, game artist, and an array of community contributors. Anyone who cares about any aspect of O3DE regarding simulation is welcome to join.
- Review and contribute to simulation technology roadmap
- Review simulation related RFCs and PRs
- Ensure timely and frequent communication of simulation activities (including Discord, sig meetings, triage, PR review, RFCs, etc.)
- Ensure accurate measurement of simulation systems (testing and performance)
- Provide support to community for simulation topics
- Work with sig-core to unify, consolidate and maintain math libraries
- Work with sig-core to define tick (update) system
- Operational excellence on simulation technology (unit tests, end-to-end tests, benchmarks, documentation, tutorials)
- Contact us on Discord
- Join one of our weekly meetings on Thursday
- Issue Triage (weekly)
- Governance Meeting (monthly)
- Subscribe to our mailing list
As a contributor you can help in one of the following ways.
- Providing your feedback on designs as review them. As a user of O3DE your viewpoint brings another data point to the conversation. This allows the SIG Simulation to make sure we are covering all the interactions from multiple perspectives. This helps us to learn and grow.
- Our team is small and help is always welcome. So if you feel that you can help with developing O3DE's features related to simulation in any capacity, let us know and we will find a good way for us to collaborate. This can be in the form of helping with research, designing, helping to write/maintain our documentation, or working on issues.
- If you are an expert in a specific area like: game engines, Internet of Things (IoT), simulations or movies, we would love your help as a research participant. We can design great things by collaborating with the experts like you. Collecting feedback direct from our users can make O3DE great.
Now that you know a little about us here are a few links to get you started.
- Who is the Chair and Co-chair?
- Chair: Adam Dąbrowski [Robotec.ai, @adamdbrw], Co-chair: Lars Gleim [Huawei, @lgleim]
- How do I get in contact with the group?
- We use Discord. Join the conversation here on the SIG-Simulation Channel.
- Can I subscribe to notifications from SIG Simulation? What will I get notified about?
- Yes! You can also watch the SIG Simulation Github Repository for announcements, issues, and discussions. You can also join our email mailing list for less frequent announcements. If you prefer Discord, you can chat to us there too for any immediate questions.
- How do I see when you will meet?
- We meet weekly on Thursday in discord. Find our next meeting slot in the calendar here. The agenda for our monthly governance meetings is announced here.
- Can we meet outside of meetings?
- Of course, please begin with Discord and/or add yourself to a meeting agenda to get some face-time with the group.
- How can I learn more about the SIG Simulation?
- Read more our SIG governance and charter here.
- How does SIG Simulation handle issue reports and what can I do if I need help?
- Please have a look at our issue triage guide, especially the FAQ section.
