SIGGRAPH—NVIDIA today announced major advancements
to Universal Scene Description, or OpenUSD, that will expand
adoption of the universal 3D data interchange framework to
robotics, industrial design and engineering, and accelerate
developers’ abilities to build highly accurate virtual worlds for
the next evolution of AI.
Through new OpenUSD-based generative AI and
NVIDIA-accelerated development frameworks built on the NVIDIA
Omniverse™ platform, more industries can now develop applications
for visualizing industrial design and engineering projects, and for
simulating environments to build the next wave of physical AI and
robots.
The new offerings include NVIDIA NIM™ microservices for AI
models that can generate OpenUSD language to answer user queries,
generate OpenUSD Python code, apply materials to 3D objects, and
understand 3D space and physics to help accelerate digital twin
development. In addition, new USD connectors to robotics and
industrial simulation data formats and developer tools let users
stream massive, fully NVIDIA RTX™ ray-traced datasets to Apple
Vision Pro.
“The generative AI boom for heavy industries is here,” said Rev
Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation technology
at NVIDIA. “Until recently, digital worlds have been primarily used
by creative industries; now, with the enhancements and
accessibility NVIDIA NIM microservices are bringing to OpenUSD,
industries of all kinds can build physically based virtual worlds
and digital twins to drive innovation while preparing for the next
wave of AI: robotics.”
Generative AI Comes to USD With NVIDIA NIMThe
world’s first generative AI models for OpenUSD development,
developed by NVIDIA, will be available as NVIDIA NIM microservices.
The models enable developers to incorporate generative AI copilots
and agents into USD workflows, broadening the possibilities in 3D
worlds and helping speed the adoption of USD across a new range of
industrial sectors, like manufacturing, automotive and
robotics.
The microservices available in preview are:
- USD Code NIM microservice — answers general
knowledge OpenUSD questions and automatically generates
OpenUSD-Python code based on text prompts that can then be inputted
into an OpenUSD viewing app, such as usdview from Pixar, or an
NVIDIA Omniverse Kit-based application to visualize the
corresponding 3D data.
- USD Search NIM microservice — enables
developers to search through massive libraries of OpenUSD, 3D and
image data using natural language or image inputs.
- USD Validate NIM microservice — checks the
compatibility of uploaded files against OpenUSD release versions
and generates a fully RTX-rendered, path-traced image, powered by
NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs, or application programming
interfaces.
Newly announced microservices that will be available soon
are:
- USD Layout NIM microservice — enables users to
assemble OpenUSD-based scenes from a series of text prompts based
on spatial intelligence.
- USD SmartMaterial NIM microservice — predicts
and applies a realistic material to a computer-aided design
object.
- fVDB Mesh Generation
NIM microservice — generates an OpenUSD-based
mesh, rendered by Omniverse Cloud APIs, from point-cloud data.
- fVDB Physics Super-Res NIM microservice —
performs AI super resolution on a frame or sequence of frames to
generate an OpenUSD-based, high-resolution physics simulation.
- fVDB NeRF-XL NIM microservice — generates
large-scale neural radiance fields in OpenUSD using Omniverse Cloud
APIs.
Foxconn, a global manufacturing leader with more than 170
factories worldwide, is already benefiting from NVIDIA’s computing
platform, using NIM microservices and Omniverse to create a digital
twin of a factory under development.
“Digital twins will help us accelerate the next wave of
industrial manufacturing and autonomous machines,” said Zhe Shi,
chief digital officer and head of the Smart Manufacturing platform
at Foxconn. “NVIDIA Omniverse and the new NIM microservices will
democratize the ability to develop digital twins and help our teams
build physically based virtual factories faster than ever.”
WPP, a world leader in marketing and communications services
company, is an early adopter of USD Search and USD Code NIM
microservices, implementing them in its generative AI-enabled
content creation pipeline, built on NVIDIA Omniverse, for customers
such as The Coca-Cola Company.
“The beauty of the innovation is how compatible it is with the
way we work, and that it leverages open standards — accelerating
not only future work, but allowing us to continue to build on and
extend the usefulness of all our previous investments in standards
like OpenUSD,” said Stephan Pretorius, chief technology officer at
WPP. “Using NVIDIA NIM microservices with NVIDIA Omniverse has made
it possible for us to launch innovative new production tools with
companies like The Coca-Cola Company at unprecedented speed.”
USD Connectors Bring Generative AI to More
IndustriesA series of new USD connectors for robotics data
formats and streaming to Apple Vision Pro opens the portals of
OpenUSD interoperability and advanced authoring to more
industries.
NVIDIA and Siemens, a global leader in industrial automation and
software, are extending their collaboration to facilitate more
industrial workloads using OpenUSD. Siemens will integrate OpenUSD
pipelines with its Simcenter portfolio of simulation technologies
to support evidence-based decision-making and collaboration among
key stakeholders.
This integration enables high-fidelity, real-time,
photorealistic visualization of complex simulation data, providing
deeper insights into a product’s performance within its real-world
operating environment. The work will build on Siemens’ efforts to
incorporate Omniverse into its Teamcenter Product Lifecycle
Management portfolio.
NVIDIA also released a connector from Unified Robotics
Description Format to OpenUSD, letting roboticists seamlessly bring
their robot data across applications, including for design,
simulation and reinforcement learning.
To further advance OpenUSD ecosystem expansion, NVIDIA announced
the OpenUSD Exchange software development kit, enabling developers
to build their own robust OpenUSD data connectors.
New developer tools and APIs to stream large-scale OpenUSD
scenes from an application built on the Omniverse platform to Apple
Vision Pro via the NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network are now
available in early access.
“OpenUSD is revolutionizing the way we create and interact with
3D content,” said Steve May, chief technology officer of Pixar and
chairman of the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD). “Now, with these new
services and APIs for OpenUSD built by NVIDIA, we expect to see
accelerated growth and adoption of USD, paving the way for new
users and industries to more easily engage with our ecosystem.”
OpenUSD Ecosystem MomentumLast year, NVIDIA
cofounded the AOUSD along with Pixar, Adobe, Apple and Autodesk.
Through AOUSD, NVIDIA and other collaborators have announced a new
OpenUSD release, progress on an OpenUSD core specification and new
members.
AvailabilityThe USD Search, USD Code and USD
Validate NIM microservices are available in preview on the NVIDIA
API catalog. The OpenUSD to URDF connector is now available with
NVIDIA Isaac Sim™.
Developers can get started integrating generative AI into
OpenUSD workflows with new Omniverse developer tools and a
reference workflow for building a generative AI-enabled synthetic
data pipeline with OpenUSD.
