LiDAR Digital Twin Scanner for Unreal Engine

Digital-twin and perception workflows need physically grounded sensor data that can feed mapping, reconstruction, and downstream experiments.

For a Moshpit Studios client engagement, I designed a configurable bounding-box scanning workflow in Unreal Engine. It generates multi-layer sample grids, fires complex triangle-precise traces, projects hit locations into a SceneCapture2D render, samples color, filters duplicates, and exports XYZ or XYZRGB point clouds.

I also extracted the portable sample-grid algorithm into an open-source Python package with unit tests. Client-specific engine code remains in the client repository.

The working scanner feeds downstream digital-twin and perception experiments while the public repository documents and tests the reusable geometric sampling method.
