NVIDIA Quadro RTX’s RT Cores For Photorealistic Real-Time Ray Tracing

This short but compelling video clearly demonstrates the dramatic difference true physically based rendering, utilizing NVIDIA Quadro RTX’s RT Cores for photorealistic real-time ray tracing in application viewports, brings to architectural visualization, design reviews, and virtual walkthroughs.

OMNIVERSE AEC EXPERIENCE ON
NVIDIA RTX SERVER

NVIDIA Omniverse is a powerful new collaboration platform for AEC based on Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD) and NVIDIA RTX. Developers of CAD or BIM applications can build portals to connect their products to Omniverse so customers can seamlessly share assets with other industry-standard applications. Omniverse viewer can also be integrated into the application interface, adding an ultra-high-quality real-time ray traced application viewport. AEC faces unique efficiency challenges due to the complexity of construction projects and the number of people and disciplines involved. Many stakeholders contribute expertise and design recommendations making it difficult for all parties to fully understand design intent, leading to project delays and budget overruns. NVIDIA RTX Server with Omniverse and Quadro Virtual Data Center (Quadro vDWS) software boosts efficiency, lowers costs, and accelerates project delivery timelines.
