    At SIGGRAPH, the world’s largest gathering of computer graphics experts, NVIDIA announced significant updates for creators and developers using NVIDIA Omniverse, a real-time 3D design collaboration and world simulation platform.

    The next wave of Omniverse worlds is moving to the cloud — and new features for Omniverse Kit, Nucleus, and the Audio2Face and Machinima apps allow users to better build physically accurate digital twins and realistic avatars and redefine how virtual worlds are created and experienced.

    Individuals and organisations across industries can substantially accelerate complex 3D graphics workflows with Omniverse. Whether an engineer, researcher, animator or designer, Omniverse users worldwide have created vast virtual worlds and realistic simulations using the platform’s core rendering, physics and AI technologies.

    The Omniverse community portals into the platform using NVIDIA RTX-enabled Studio laptops, workstations and OVX servers — and with the shift of Omniverse to the cloud, users can work virtually using non-RTX systems like Macs and Chromebooks.

    Plus, NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) launched along with new Omniverse Connectors and applications — enabling users to build and customise virtual assistants and digital humans easily.

    Bringing Real-Time, Real-World Accuracy to 3D Virtual Worlds

    Omniverse users can enhance interaction and flexibility in USD workflows with OmniLive, a major development that delivers non-destructive live workflows at increased speed and performance to those who are connecting and collaborating among third-party applications.

    Live layers will allow users to know who’s in a session with them — so teams can easily assign ownership and have an effortless way to save, discard and pause a collaborative session. OmniLive also enables custom versions of USD to live sync seamlessly, making Omniverse Connectors much easier to develop.

    Omniverse users can also experience the next wave of AI and industrial simulation with the latest updates to NVIDIA PhysX, an advanced real-time engine for simulating realistic physics.

    The NVIDIA PhysX updates allow Omniverse users to build some of the world’s most advanced physics solvers, enabling 3D virtual worlds to obey the laws of physics. New features include scalable signed-distance-field (SDF) simulation, soft-body simulation, particle-cloth simulation for cloth manipulation and soft-contact models.
