Is it possible to customize the texture of objects, or add new custom objects?
❓ Questions
Hello,
I wonder if I can manipulate the textures in the scene?
For example, changing the texture mapping image of an object to add some perturbation on its texture. Or adding a new object with custom shape and texture (e.g. an image patch on the wall) is useful as well.
Any help would be appreciated!
You can absolutely add new custom objects to a scene. You can check out our recent ECCV tutorials (https://aihabitat.org/tutorial/2020/) for more information. Specifically, I would suggest Habitat-Sim for Interaction, Habitat-Sim Advanced Topics, and Habitat-Lab for Interaction.
Regarding texture mapping: we do not support editing textures inside Habitat currently. You'll need to customize your assets outside of Habitat (e.g. in Blender) and import the new customized asset.

@aclegg3 Thank you for your helpful information!
However, when I followed the Habitat-Sim for Interaction tutorial, I found that some useful functions like get_object_template_manager() are NOT introduced in current STABLE version (?), but appear in current MASTER version.
If I want to add new custom objects to scenes now, should I clone the MASTER version instead of the STABLE one, or wait for the incoming update?
Or there is any other ways to insert File-based object templates without the get_object_template_manager() function?
We are in the process of releasing a new stable version now. I suggest you use the master branch which is being released and update to stable in the very near future.
@aclegg3 Is it possible to import some object/character with a custom motion/animation? For example, would I be able to import a human with a walking animation into my scene?
@rithik25 This question should probably be its own issue/feature request.
Introduced with this Habitat-sim PR, you can import a character which is described by a URDF file and animate its joints. However, mesh skinning is not currently supported, so your character would need to be composed of rigid links.
