Can't see a way to set the dome light position randomly

[ArghyaChatterjee]

Hello,

I am trying to follow your NVISII API to set different things inside the DOPE (Deep Object Pose Estimation) training pipeline. Here is the pipeline script. Now I want to set the dome light position randomly but when I try to do that in this way:

 # Enable the dome light with the selected position
    light_position = random.choice(dome_light_positions)
    visii.enable_dome_light()
    visii.set_dome_light_position(light_position)

    # Randomly change the position of the dome light for each sample
    light_position = visii.vec3(
         random.uniform(0, 2),
         random.uniform(0, 2),
         random.uniform(0, 2)
     )

    visii.set_dome_light_position(light_position)

The python compiler tells me that there is no api like set_dome_light_position. Now how can I set the light position randomly ??

You can only rotate the dome light, you cannot move it sadly.

Yeah, dome lights have no position, since they’re meant to model the ambient light from the sky, which only rotates but does not translate.
