Announced partnerships with Pixar, Adobe, Siemens, and other industry playersCooperationIn addition to promoting the Universal Scene Description (USD) standard, NVIDIA also announced the addition of more development frameworks, tools, and applications to its Omniverse platform. The company emphasized that the Universal Scene Description will allow Omniverse to connect to more 3D applications, making it easier for artists, developers, and engineers to create virtual worlds and content.
NVIDIA said that currently more than 700 top companies around the world use the Omniverse platform to enhance architectural and product design and simplify visual effects workflows. At the same time, the platform is used to build digital twin virtual environments for further production line planning, urban development design, or for global climate research.
This update adds the Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine, a cloud-native AI model and service that can be used to build and deploy realistic virtual assistants and digital humans. It also updates the Omniverse platform's PhysX physics computing capabilities, including the addition of real-time software and particle cloth simulation that can be expanded through GPU computing power, making more simulation effects closer to reality.
In addition, NVIDIA has also strengthened the collaboration of universal scene description content in this update, making more design processes smoother and easier, and can connect content created by common 3D software in the industry through USD Connector.
Other new additions include Omniverse Audio2Face, an AI tool for creating facial animations from sound files, and Omniverse Audio2Gesture, a tool for creating realistic hand and body movements from sound. Omniverse Machinima also allows for rapid creation of 3D animations, and comes with free 3D assets from games such as Post Scriptum, Beyond the Wire, and Shadow Warrior 3.
Developers can also use the Omniverse DeepSearch function to quickly search and tag large amounts of 3D visual data through natural language analysis and understanding. The newly added NVIDIA Modulus physics machine learning framework can provide faster execution speed and corresponding realistic physical simulation effects.
