[MSI x NVIDIA Studio] Unleashing Creativity and Collaboration with OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse

The Metaverse has become a popular topic in recent years. In line with this, NVIDIA has developed NVIDIA Omniverse, a development platform for connecting and building 3D tools and applications with Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD). This platform facilitates collaborative work among creatives, allowing them to seamlessly work across multiple applications and software. If you're a designer who frequently uses various digital content creation tools and often collaborates with others on 3D projects, Omniverse can greatly enhance your work efficiency and workflow, bringing remarkable benefits to your work.

Check out this official introduction video of Omniverse from the NVIDIA official channel.

NVIDIA Omniverse is an accelerated 3D design and collaboration platform that seamlessly connects and enhances your 3D apps and creative workflows. Omniverse enables artists to unite assets, libraries and tools to help bring their ideas to life with the power of OpenUSD. Working as a hub, Omniverse unlocks real-time multi-app workflows across different applications simultaneously, linking popular 3D creative apps and replacing tedious independent pipelines with intuitive live-sync creation. Connect your favorite design applications to Omniverse to revolutionize your 3D workflows and open up new ways to build and explore your ideas—faster than ever.

Since Omniverse is an open platform for creative collaboration based on Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD) and NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL), it enables creators to work more seamlessly between app to app, scene to scene without having to upload, download and convert files. USD is not a standalone format but rather an open and extensible framework and ecosystem with compositional APIs. It has emerged as the open standard for the evolution of 3D on the internet. OpenUSD encompasses a range of essential tools and capabilities that streamline workflows, teams, and projects. Whether you're creating assets and environments for expansive, interconnected virtual worlds or developing the tools that will enable these worlds, OpenUSD empowers your endeavors.

NVIDIA Omniverse is an open platform that enables seamless collaboration between creators using different applications through OpenUSD.

Omniverse is an advanced platform that leverages the power of RTX acceleration for streamlined 3D content creation and collaboration. It enables artists to effortlessly synchronize assets from more than 20 creative applications. In the typical workflow of creators, it's common to use multiple applications, each excelling at specific tasks. Unfortunately, transferring content between these applications can be a complex and time-consuming process. However, Omniverse Connectors have been developed to help bridge the gap between the 3D tools and applications that teams and individuals use every day. With Omniverse, not only can different applications be seamlessly connected, but the overall flow of artist collaboration becomes significantly smoother.

In this demonstration, we'll explore a seamless workflow using Autodesk 3ds Max and Adobe Photoshop with USD Composer. With this powerful connection, any changes made in these applications will automatically update in OmniverseUSD Composer. As a result, we can witness the scene coming to life with real-time atmosphere and lighting effects, enhancing the overall visual experience.

Omniverse supports a wide range of popular development software and design applications. For a complete list of supported software, you can visit their website: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/ecosystem/

Compatibility is not the only advantage that Omniverse offers. Once you establish the connection between applications and USD Composer, your work efficiency can greatly improve. Let's take the example of connecting Blender to Omniverse Create for adjusting an animation project. With this integration, you no longer need to render the entire scene every time you make a modification. Thanks to real-time animation playback, you can swiftly update specific elements of the scene, saving valuable time for animation creators. This seamless connection allows you to confidently view and interact with your animations in real time while using your favorite apps for adjustments. It's a game-changer for animation creators, making the workflow smoother and more efficient.

Also, the footage that demonstrates the benefits of connecting Blender to USD Composer is here. Let's take a look and see how this integration enhances the creative process.

Last but not least, the MSI design team has also explored the connection between Autodesk Maya and USD Composer. In the clip, you can clearly see how the 3D models in Autodesk Maya and USD Composer are seamlessly synchronized. What's even better is that designers can continue using the application they are familiar with for creating lights and making adjustments to the models, all while enjoying the advantages that Omniverse brings. Let's dive in and watch the video to witness this impressive collaboration in action.

NVIDIA has introduced the Studio program, catering to a wide range of creative individuals, including hobbyists, aspiring artists, and industry professionals. As part of this program, the Omniverse development platform takes center stage, helping to streamline workflows and unleash creative ideas. Notably, MSI gaming desktops have received certification under the NVIDIA Studio program. This ensures that the hardware delivers stable performance and top-notch quality.
