Introduction
Welcome to NVIDIA Omniverse™ Enterprise on LaunchPad! During this LaunchPad lab, you will experience Omniverse’s Full Fidelity Visualization capability while performing a simulated project review using the Omniverse View application. This is for individuals with a basic understanding of operating 3D software and who have a basic understanding of lighting, rendering, 3D geometry, and 3D Cameras.
This session will showcase the real-time capabilities of NVIDIA hardware coupled with NVIDIA Omniverse View. You will open a scene, set up cameras, add review notes, conduct Sun Studies, and capture high-quality video. While this is only a subset of Omniverse’s capabilities, you will experience the power of real time rendering while experiencing full fidelity visualization of a production quality 3D scene.
Yes, it is recommended that you have some experience using Omniverse View. This guided exploration will allow you to experience some key features that demonstrate the power of the Full Fidelity visual experience available in Omniverse.
Because USD is a foundational element of Omniverse, it is highly recommended that you have at least a basic conceptual understanding of USD workflows, layers, and nomenclature.
If you are new to Omniverse, please check out the video below to quickly understand this incredible new way to design and develop in real time with Omniverse Enterprise.
Edits and iterations are made instantaneously to a project file at any layer, resulting in faster time to production with less workflow redundancy and waste. Omniverse eliminates the need for tedious, linear export-import workflows. One-click to ultra-high fidelity, immersive visualizations mean clients, project managers, and reviewers can see true-to-reality representations of their projects for instant feedback, increased confidence, and reduced levels of uncertainty.
Although you won’t get to experience collaborating with digital content creation tools like Autodesk Revit, McNeel & Associates Rhinoceros, or Autodesk 3ds Max you will still get a feel for a real-time working environment within the Omniverse Apps and the new levels of creativity and efficiency of connected workflows with Omniverse.
All you need to complete this experience is any computing device that has a stable internet connection and a 2-button scroll wheel mouse.
Please refer to the appendix of this lab to learn essential Omniverse app skills which you will be applying in the hands-on lab to enhance your content creation workflow. You can simply refer to these skills as needed during your hands-on lab or you may try these individual skills for yourself using the supplied scenes.
