SIG-Simulation Charter

This charter adheres to the Roles and Organization Management specified by the O3DE Foundation. Team information may be found in the README.

Overview of SIG

Sig-simulation oversees aspects of O3DE related to modelling real-world processes which evolve over time. Its responsibilities include:

  • Ensuring efficient runtime performance and stability of all simulation operations
  • Keeping pace with the latest developments in simulation technology

Goals

  • 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)

Scope

  • Physics API (AzFramework/Physics), physics related Gems (e.g. PhysX Gem) and physics tools
  • Maintenance of the O3DE fork of PhysX 5
  • Animation systems, EMotionFX math library, related Gems (e.g. EMotionFX Gem) and animation tools
  • Character physics (e.g. character controllers, gravity, ragdolls)
  • Cloth simulation (e.g. NvCloth Gem)
  • Destruction (e.g. Nvidia Blast Gem)
  • Debugging tools for simulations
  • Exposing simulation features to scripting (Script Canvas, Lua, Python)
  • Editor "Simulate" mode (Ctrl+P)
  • Shape components (in co-operation with sig-content)
  • AI systems (e.g. pathfinding, behavior trees)
  • Robotics systems (e.g. ROS2 Gem) and sample projects (e.g. Robot Vacuum and Fruit Picking)
  • Potential future simulation features (e.g. fluids, particles)

Cross-cutting Processes

  • Collaborate with sig-core on:
    • Math library maintenance
    • Tick (update) system maintenance
  • Collaborate with sig-graphics-audio on:
    • Debug rendering
    • Presentation aspects of simulations
    • Skinned mesh system
  • Support sig-content work on:
    • Simulation aspects of terrain system
  • Collaborate with sig-network on:
    • Multiplayer simulation

Out of Scope

  • The presentation aspects of simulated systems (e.g. rendering)
  • Visibility and culling
  • Scripting infrastructure (e.g. Behavior Context, Script Canvas framework)

Roles and Organization Management

SIG Simulation adheres to the standards for roles and organization management as specified by the O3DE Foundation. This SIG opts in to updates and modifications to the Foundation's guidance.
