This week is SIGGRAPH 2021, a key computer graphics event. The keynote here is the NVIDIA Studio platform, showcasing the exclusive benefits that NVIDIA RTX technology offers 3D content creators.

These technologies are at the core of NVIDIA Omniverse, a shared virtual world where artists create unique digital scenes and perfect 3D models, design beautiful buildings, and more, with limitless creative possibilities. The Omniverse platform continues to expand, and it recently received support for the USD format from Blender, the new AdobeSubstance 3D plugin, and the new GANverse3D extension that makes AI-assisted 3D modeling easier.

Omniverse is currently in open beta testing and is available free to users of NVIDIA RTX and GeForce RTX GPUs. With today’s release of the NVIDIA RTX A2000 GPU, the platform’s capabilities will be open to millions of new 3D artists and content creators.

The latest updates to the Creative Suite, as well as Omniverse and the RTX A2000 GPU, will receive support in the August NVIDIA Studio driver, available for download today.

August brings with it updates for productivity apps and a new Studio driver

Several updates to business applications were recently released, and all of them are supported in the August Studio driver, already available for download.

Topaz Sharpen AI v3.2 offers improved AI models powered by RTX GPUs and tensor cores that speed up Motion Blur and Too Soft/Very Blurry by a factor of 1.5 while reducing artifacts.

3D Modeling

creating three-dimensional computer images and graphics

Learning 3D software is not easy, so before you start, decide for yourself if you really want to and can do 3D modeling.

One of the most essential traits inherent to 3D graphics professionals is creativity.

Like drawing and animation, the field of 3D modeling requires a rich imagination and out-of-the-box thinking to create unusual characters and worlds that will stand out from the rest.

The work of a 3D modeler also requires meticulous attention to detail, patience, and perseverance, as each model is long and carefully worked through, "polished", and perfected.
