Course Description
This class is designed for new and experienced staff working in industries that include: Architectural, Engineering, Construction, Product Development, Entertainment, Interactive Media, Video Game, Simulation, and Science & Research. New workflows and technologies introduced in this class allow for unrestricted collaboration across a large ecosystem of existing applications, regardless of their physical location, as well as introducing exciting Real-Time Simulation and Rendering tools.
Objectives
What you'll learn:
- Define the different components and technologies that make up the NVIDIA Omniverse
- Deploy Omniverse based on their collaboration needs
- Install connectors to allow their existing applications to collaborate with any Omniverse
- Use Omniverse native applications to create, visualize, light, render and simulate: new constriction, products, game assets, and virtual worlds.
- Export visualizations as still images, animations, video game assets, and Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences.
Prerequisites
Recommended Knowledge:
- Basic general computer experience
- Basic understanding of topics including interactive media, video games, simulation, and product development.
Required Equipment
- Windows 10
