Configuring Scenic for Realistic 3D Scene Generation

Hello! I’m new to Scenic and would like to use it to generate realistic scenes similar to those shown on the first page of the Scenic paper. When I run the example scenes from the code, the output looks more like a 2D sketch. It seems like I’m always using a 2D renderer to go the generation. Is there a specific configuration I need to adjust to generate 3D simulated scenes?

Hello Siqi, when you run the scenic command-line tool we generate simple diagrams by default, as you saw. Rendering nice images (or generating other kinds of realistic sensor data) requires interfacing Scenic to a simulator. You can read about which simulators we support in the documentation here. It’s also pretty easy to interface Scenic to new simulators/renderers if you have a different one in mind.
