Changing background color or texture?

[Zackory]

In pybullet, is it possible to change the current background color (light blue/purple) to another color, or even to a texture?
For example, is it possible to have a starry night background, similar to the one found in DeepMind's control suite?

I have found out we can change the background color of the GUI window using the following code:

Code: Select all

import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.GUI, options='--background_color_red=1.0 --background_color_green=0.0 --background_color_blue=0.0')

Regarding this, I find myself unable to change the background color (which will remain light purple) either in the GUI window or in DIRECT mode when using the code above. I have experienced this issue with pybullet 3.2.5 on the following OS/python versions
- python 3.9.12 on MAC OS 11.6.5
- python 3.8.10 on Ubuntu 18

An example of the output I get is the following:

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

You can change the background color of the GUI in PyBullet using the p.configureDebugVisualizer() function.

You can specify the background color using the rgbBackground parameter. This function accepts multiple parameters other than rbgBackground parameter.

Here’s an example:

Code: Select all

p.configureDebugVisualizer(rgbBackground=[0, 0, 0])

In this example, the rgbBackground parameter is used to set the background color to black. You can pass an RGB vector [red, green, blue] to set a color of your choice. Each color value should be between 0 and 1.
