VERSATILE

Product Overview

Introduction

The Versatile Tool is a unified platform designed for creating, editing, and enhancing maps and 3D scenes in both 2D and 3D. It provides powerful yet intuitive tools for detailed map editing and scene enrichment, making it an essential resource for building realistic and functional environments.

Fully compliant with the ASAM OpenDRIVE road standard, the tool supports editing roads, lanes, junctions, objects, and signals while allowing users to enhance maps with 3D assets like buildings, trees, street lights, and other scene elements. The Versatile Tool ensures seamless integration with industry-standard platforms and offers versatile export options, including OpenDRIVE maps, FBX scene files, and compatibility with tools like ReplicaR, dSPACE and CARLA.

Background

The Versatile Tool was developed to streamline workflows by merging the functionalities of three previously separate tools:

• MapEditor: Focused on creating and editing roads, lanes, junctions, objects, and signals for OpenDRIVE-compliant maps.

• Scene Generator: Allowed users to generate 3D environments from OpenDRIVE maps and enhance them with a library of 3D assets.

• Trajectory Editor: Supported importing real-world sensor data for simulation scenarios and editing actor trajectories.

By combining these tools into a single platform, the Versatile Tool simplifies processes, reduces complexity, and provides a more efficient workflow for editing and visualizing maps and scenes.

Purpose and Usage

The Versatile Tool is built to simplify complex workflows, improve efficiency, and deliver high-quality maps and scenes. It supports users across teams who need to create detailed environments for simulations, testing, or visualization.
