AI and accelerated computing were in the spotlight at SIGGRAPH - the world's largest gathering of computer graphics experts - as NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced during his keynote address updates to NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform for building and connecting 3D tools and applications, as well as acceleration for Universal Scene Description (known as OpenUSD), the open and extensible ecosystem for 3D worlds.
This follows the recent announcement of NVIDIA joining Pixar, Adobe, Apple and Autodesk to form the Alliance for OpenUSD. It marks a major leap toward unlocking the next era of 3D graphics, design and simulation by ensuring compatibility in 3D tools and content for digitalization across industries.
NVIDIA launched three new desktop workstation Ada Generation GPUs - the NVIDIA RTX 5000, RTX 4500 and RTX 4000 - which deliver the latest AI, graphics and real-time rendering technology to professionals worldwide.
Shutterstock is bringing generative AI to 3D scene backgrounds with a foundation model trained using NVIDIA Picasso, a cloud-based foundry for building visual generative AI models. Picasso-trained models can now generate photorealistic, 8K, 360-degree high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRi) environment maps for quicker scene development. Autodesk will also integrate generative AI content-creation services - developed using foundation models in Picasso - with its popular Autodesk Maya software.
Each month, NVIDIA Studio Driver releases provide artists, creators and 3D developers with the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. Available today, the August NVIDIA Studio Driver gives creators peak reliability for using their favorite creative apps. It includes support for updates to Omniverse, XSplit Broadcaster and Reallusion iClone.
Plus, this week's featured In the NVIDIA Studio artist Andrew Averkin shows how AI influenced his process in building a delightful cup of joe for his Natural Coffee piece.
Omniverse Expands Omniverse received a major upgrade, bringing new connectors and advancements to the platform.
These updates are showcased in Omniverse foundation applications, which are fully customizable reference applications that creators, enterprises and developers can copy, extend or enhance.
Upgraded Omniverse applications include Omniverse USD Composer, which lets 3D users assemble large-scale, OpenUSD-based scenes. Omniverse Audio2Face - which provides generative AI application programming interfaces that create realistic facial animations and gestures from only an audio file - now includes multilingual support and a new female base model.
The update brings boosted efficiency and an improved user experience. New rendering optimizations take full advantage of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture enhancements in NVIDIA RTX GPUs with DLSS 3 technology fully integrated into the Omniverse RTX Renderer. In addition, a new AI denoiser enables real-time 4K path tracing of massive industrial scenes.
New application and experience templates provide developers getting started with OpenUSD and Omniverse a major headstart with minimal coding.
A new Omniverse Kit Extension Registry, a central repository for accessing, sharing and managing Omniverse extensions, lets developers easily turn functionality on and off in their application, making it easier than ever to build custom apps from over 500 core Omniverse extensions provided by NVIDIA.
New extended-reality developer tools let users build spatial-computing options natively into their Omniverse-based applications, giving users the flexibility to experience their 3D projects and virtual worlds however they like.
Expanding their collaboration across Adobe Substance 3D, generative AI and OpenUSD initiatives, Adobe and NVIDIA announced plans to make Adobe Firefly, Adobe's family of creative generative AI models, available as APIs in Omniverse, enabling developers and creators to enhance their design processes.
Developers and industrial enterprises have new foundation apps and services to optimize and enhance 3D pipelines with the OpenUSD framework and generative AI.
Studio professionals can connect the world of generative AI to their workflows to accelerate entire projects - from environment creation and character animation to scene-setting and more. With Kit AI Agent, OpenUSD Connectors and extensions to prompt top generative AI tools and APIs, Omniverse can aggregate the final result in a unified viewport - collectively reducing the time from conception to creation.
RTX: The Next Generation The new NVIDIA RTX 5000, RTX 4500 and RTX 4000 Ada Generation professional desktop GPUs feature the latest NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture technologies, including DLSS 3, for smoother rendering and real-time interactivity in 3D applications such as Unreal Engine.
These workstation-class GPUs feature third-generation RT Cores with up to 2x the throughput of the previous generation. This enables users to work with larger, higher-fidelity images in real time, helping artists and designers maintain their creative flow.
Fourth-generation Tensor Cores deliver up to 2x the AI performance of the previous generation for AI training and development as well as inferencing and generative AI workloads. Large GPU memory enables AI-augmented multi-application workflows with the latest generative AI-enabled tools and applications.
The Ada architecture provides these new GPUs with up to twice the video encode and decode capability of the previous generation, encoding up to 8K60 video in real time, with support for AV1 encode and decode. Combined with next-generation AI performance, these capabilities make the new professional GPUs ideal for multi-stream video editing workflows with high-resolution content using AI-augmented video editing applications such as Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.
