AWS Ambit Scenario Designer for Unreal Engine 4 (Ambit) is a suite of tools to streamline 3D content creation at scale for autonomous vehicle and robotics simulation applications. From procedural placement of obstacles to automatic generation of whole cities, Ambit can help you quickly create the 3D environments and scenarios you need for your simulations or other 3D applications.


Features:

  • World generation: Automatically generate building and road geometry from Open Street Map data. Use nearly any location in the world as the basis for your 3D environment. Learn more about this feature in the City Generation section of the Ambit User Guide.
  • Obstacle placement: Quickly populate your 3D worlds with stationary objects and vehicles using simple rules-based tools. Leverage randomness parameters to create endless variations easily. Learn more about obstacle placement in the Static Obstacles and Dynamic Obstacles sections of the Ambit User Guide.
  • Environment FX: Preview how time of day and weather conditions will impact the scenarios you create using Ambit’s drop-in environmental effects system. Learn more in the Weather & Time of Day FX section of the Ambit User Guide.
  • Scenario generation: A scenario is the encapsulation of the world, obstacles, time of day, and weather conditions for a single simulation. Scenarios are exported from Ambit as JSON-formatted text files that can be used in your own simulators and pipelines. Export individual scenarios manually, or let Ambit automatically generate hundreds of scenario permutations based on parameters you control. Learn more in the Manual Scenario Generation and Automated Scenario Generation sections of the Ambit User Guide.


The AWS Ambit Scenario Designer for Unreal Engine 4 is an open source project maintained by AWS and is hosted on GitHub.
