Camera Outputs -- Real-Time Path-Tracing (RT2)

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks what AOVs/render vars are available, what format or dtype an output has, or how to read a specific output like depth, normals, albedo, or distance.

Inputs

Resolve inputs in this order: existing repository files and referenced snippets, explicit user request, then broader agent context.

• Target API surface: Python, C/C++, USD, or a combination.
• Requested AOV/sourceName, RenderProduct path, and whether the user needs USD authoring, output selection, or readback guidance.
• Expected dtype, shape, channel count, and any known backend limitations for that output.
• Whether extra outputs are acceptable for memory/performance, or only the requested output should be added.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
