It was memories of playing Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros while growing up in Colombia\u2019s sprawling capital of Bogot\u00e1 that inspired Yenifer Macias\u2019s award-winning submission for the #CreateYourRetroverse<\/a> contest, featured above.<\/p>\n

The contest asked NVIDIA Omniverse<\/a> users to share scenes that visualize where their love for graphics began. For Macias, that passion goes back to childhood. She loved video games \u2014 but was all the more wowed by their art.<\/p>\n

Now, using Omniverse<\/a>, a physically accurate 3D design collaboration platform that runs on NVIDIA Studio<\/a> products and supports the leading 3D content creation tools of the industry, Macias accelerates her work<\/a> as a 3D artist \u2014 making environments and props for video games, animation, films and advertisements.<\/p>\n

She aimed in her #CreateYourRetroverse scene, she said, to \u201cimmerse viewers in the game world for a bit and remind them of childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Artist\u2019s Journey<\/b><\/h2>\n

Macias loved to doodle and always knew she\u2019d study art.<\/p>\n

A 3D animation course she took at a vocational institute in Bogot\u00e1 confirmed her passion. She wanted to make 3D art all day, every day. Due to financial hardships, however, Macias didn\u2019t have a home computer.<\/p>\n

To practice her graphics skills, Macias took classes and completed internships \u2014 and with her first paycheck as a 3D artist, she bought a PC to continue her projects at home.<\/p>\n

Over the past eight years, Macias has completed a wide range of work including visual effects, architectural drawings and freelance animations. She uses design tools like Adobe Substance Painter, Autodesk Maya and ZBrush.<\/p>\n

From Concept to Execution<\/b><\/h2>\n

For her #CreateYourRetroverse scene, Macias started with an initial sketch:<\/p>\n

Based on references, she then created all of the props and objects for the environment from scratch in Autodesk Maya. Next, she brought her assets into the Omniverse Create<\/a> app \u2014 using an Omniverse Connector<\/a> \u2014 where she fine-tuned lighting, texture and render.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI found Omniverse\u2019s powerful render engine to be incredible \u2014 you can make changes to the lighting and materials, seeing the results in real time,\u201d Macias said.<\/p>\n

Despite being a first-time user of Omniverse, Macias said the Omniverse Create app for massive 3D world building helped her finish the project on a tight timeline and \u201cwas very user friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking forward, she plans to use Omniverse\u2019s real-time collaboration feature to team up on projects with artists across the world.<\/p>\n

With Omniverse, NVIDIA Studio<\/a> creators like Macias can supercharge their artistic workflows with optimized RTX-accelerated hardware and software drivers, and state-of-the-art AI and simulation features<\/a>.<\/p>\n
