Although here is no direct support for things like mesh skinning in newton-physics, it's a nice experience to implement it with their straight-forward API. I struggled a bunch trying to achieve the same thing with the Isaac Sim APIs.

Strawberry plant simulated as a tree of rods. I've been trying to find a way to get this working for long time now. The initial trials with newton-physics are very promising 🤩🌱

We just open-sourced our OpenUSD -> @rerun.io logger. While still a work-in-progress, the tool is already powering several of our Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab projects. github.com/art-e-fact/u...
