Jan 10,2023
9196At the beginning of the new year, a science and technology show will come! One of the noteworthy updates is the latest version of NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, a metauniverse application development platform, which has not only significantly improved the user experience, but also achieved a cross-generational leap in real-time RTX ray and path tracking. The following content will answer for you.
1、 The latest version of the universe development platform
At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, various technology companies will release new products, such as Intel 13th generation processors, NVIDIA 40series graphics cards, etc. One of the noteworthy updates is the latest version of NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, a metauniverse application development platform, which has not only significantly improved the user experience, but also achieved a cross-generational leap in real-time RTX ray and path tracking. And the workflow has also been simplified. The team can more easily establish connected 3D pipelines, so that it can develop and operate unprecedented large-scale, physically accurate virtual 3D.
Artists, designers, engineers and developers can feel the benefits of the new version in various common Omniverse use cases, such as decomposing 3D data silos through aggregation, building customized 3D pipeline tools, or generating synthetic 3D data. The new version also supports breakthrough innovations in the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, including the third generation RTX technology and DLSS 3.
If the latest graphics processor technology is used, the performance will be improved by three times. This update also provides new Omniverse Connectors, real-time workflow based on layer, improved user experience and customization options and other functions and capabilities, including multi-view ports, editable hotkeys, lighting presets, etc.
2、 Strengthen 3D creation
With the expansion of the Omniverse ecosystem, the development team has launched more and more functions and tools, enabling the team to improve 3D workflows and reach a new level of real-time and physical accurate simulation. The following is the specific content added in the latest version.
1. New Connectors
Omniverse Connectors can realize more seamless workflow connection between different 3D applications, and has supported New Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Autodesk Alias, PTC Creo, Kitware's Paraview Omniverse Connectors. Users can also easily export data created in NX software from Siemens Digital Industries Software.
2、Omniverse DeepSearch
This is an AI driven service that allows the team to intuitively search very large, unmarked 3D databases through natural language or using 2D reference images, which solves the problem of lack of search ability in the previous cumbersome digital backup and asset collection.
3、Omniverse Farm
The user interface has been completely updated, and the availability and performance have been improved. Kubernetes is also supported.
4、Omniverse Cloud
The new cloud container for Enterprise Nucleus Server, Replicator, Farm and Isaac Sim provides more flexibility for enterprises to connect and manage distributed teams around the world. AWS's security, identity and access management controls allow teams to maintain full control of their data. Currently, containers can be purchased on NVIDIA NGC.
3、 Strengthen the construction of 3D core components
Omniverse Enterprise Edition is designed for maximum flexibility and scalability, which means that creators, designers, researchers and engineers can quickly connect tools, assets and projects and collaborate in a shared virtual space. Below are the updates in the platform core components.
1、Omniverse Kit SDK
This is a powerful toolkit for building extensions, applications, microservices or plug-ins. It is easier to build advanced tools and Omniverse applications using new templates and developer workflows than in previous versions.
2、Omniverse Create
A reference application for building large-scale, USD-based applications, which currently supports NVIDIA DLSS 3 and multi-viewport functions, making Omniverse Enterprise users easier to interact smoothly with extremely large and complex scenes.
3、Omniverse View
A reference application for reviewing 3D scenes has been simplified to focus only on the review and approval experience. The new version provides new collaborative, real-time and interactive capabilities, including tagging, annotation, measurement and simple navigation, making stakeholder statements easier to display and more interactive.
4、Omniverse Nucleus
The database and collaboration engine currently contain improved IT management tools, such as extended version control to handle atomic checkpoints on the server. The updated large file transfer service enables users to move files between servers, places or in the cloud, thus benefiting hybrid workflow. At present, the new self-service deployment instructions for Enterprise Nucleus Server on AWS are available. Customers can deploy and manage Nucleus in the cloud.
4、 Customers of Omniverse Enterprise
At present, customers from all over the world have experienced the enhanced 3D workflows brought by Omniverse Enterprise. Dentsu International is one of the largest marketing and advertising agency networks in the world. It has been looking for solutions that can achieve collaboration and seamless work, and has established a central database for completed projects.
In addition to strengthening the current pipelines with Omniverse Enterprise, Dentsu is seeking to incorporate NVIDIA-generated AI into its 3D design pipeline and software development kit, such as Omniverse ACE and Audio2Face. Another customer is Mercedes-Benz, a German carmaker, which is using Omniverse Enterprise in its factories around the world to design, plan and optimize its manufacturing and assembly facilities.
By developing the full-fidelity digital twins of its production environment, teams scattered around the world will develop new capabilities for real-time collaboration, accelerate decision-making and identify opportunities to reduce waste, reduce energy consumption and continuously improve quality. Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) is a famous architectural design company that has created some of the most unique architectural designs in the world.
ZHA is committed to creating a revolutionary culture, enterprise and living space through cutting-edge technology. With Omniverse Enterprise, teams can accelerate and automate their workflow and develop customized tools within the platform. Shajay Bhooshan, deputy director of ZHA, said that ZHA was cooperating with NVIDIA to use Omniverse as the connection infrastructure of the technology stack, with the goal of maintaining the design intent and improving productivity at each project stage. ZHA hopes that NVIDIA Omniverse can play a key supporting role in the process of creating a single real source platform for unknown, version control and design data, and continue to develop in the whole process from idea generation to interaction.
summary
To sum up, the development of the metauniverse will become easier in the future! The latest version of NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, a metauniverse application development platform, has not only significantly improved the user experience, but also achieved a cross-generational leap in real-time RTX ray and path tracking.
