Adam Felt contributed to the Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox by developing and refining core rendering and selection features over five months. He implemented utilities for USD scene index management and enhanced viewport rendering with customizable selection outlines and hover states, using C++ and advanced graphics programming techniques. Adam improved API clarity and cross-platform test reliability, introducing robust image comparison methods and stabilizing unit tests across macOS and Android. He addressed build system hygiene by suppressing compiler warnings, ensuring maintainable code. His work culminated in the integration of a modular Hydra2.0 selection framework, laying a scalable architectural foundation for future viewport and game development tools.

Month: 2026-01 | Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox Key features delivered: Hydra2.0 Selection Framework and SelectionDelegate Integration. Implemented a SelectionDelegate interface and integrated it into the existing selection system to enable scalable, extensible selection across Hydra2.0 components. Major bugs fixed: None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: Lays the architectural groundwork for Hydra2.0-driven selection features, improves modularity and future maintainability, and aligns with the Hydra2.0 roadmap. Enables faster UI iteration and cleaner integration paths for downstream tools and viewports. Technologies/skills demonstrated: API design for interface-based architecture, incremental integration into an existing codebase, commit-driven delivery and repository discipline.
