Reading Render Output

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to get pixels, read an image, save a PNG, display rendered output, or access render var data.

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.
• RenderProduct path, RenderVar/output name, and whether the output is single-tensor or composite.
• Mapping target: CPU pixels, linear CUDA tensor, or C CUDA array mapping.
• Image/tensor shape, dtype, channel order, synchronization requirements, and whether the data must outlive the mapping.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
