Worked on Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox, delivering seven features and resolving three bugs over six months. Focused on C++ development and graphics programming, the work included building utilities for USD scene index management, enhancing viewport rendering with outline selection and hover color customization, and implementing a robust selection framework for Hydra2.0. Improved API clarity, cross-platform test reliability, and rendering pipeline flexibility by introducing custom AOVs and frame pass enablement. Addressed build system hygiene by suppressing compiler warnings and improved object picking accuracy in complex scenes. The approach emphasized incremental, test-driven changes, repository discipline, and maintainable software architecture for 3D graphics workflows.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox. Key feature delivered: Custom AOVs Rendering enables applications to request specific AOVs, prioritizing user-defined outputs over defaults and improving per-app rendering configurations for non-storm renderers. This reduces post-processing work and improves consistency across pipelines. Major bug fixed: Improve object picking accuracy by excluding non-pickable objects, ensuring only drawn objects can be selected, which reduces mis-selections in complex scenes. These changes were implemented via targeted commits (f6d7306b5561aead948a1ec29a398f01449b25e6) and (7f00687f2d7a596aabfc2033db3907c8ed67f43b). Overall impact: enhanced render configurability, reliability, and developer productivity, with clear separation of concerns in rendering options and pickable logic. Technologies demonstrated: rendering pipeline control, robust object picking logic, incremental code changes with traceable commits, and alignment with non-storm renderer support.
