Editor\u2019s note: This post is a part of our <\/i>Meet the Omnivore<\/i><\/a> series, which features individual creators and developers who use <\/i>NVIDIA Omniverse<\/i><\/a> to accelerate their 3D workflows and create virtual worlds.<\/i><\/p>\n

Christopher Scott<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Growing up in a military family, Christopher Scott moved more than 30 times, which instilled in him \u201cthe ability to be comfortable with, and even motivated by, new environments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Today, the environments he explores \u2014 and creates \u2014 are virtual ones.<\/p>\n

As chief technical director for 3D design and visualization services at Infinite-Compute<\/a>, Scott creates physically accurate virtual environments using familiar architectural products in conjunction with NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise<\/a>, a platform for connecting and building custom 3D pipelines.<\/p>\n

With a background in leading cutting-edge engineering projects for the U.S. Department of Defense, Scott now creates virtual environments focused on building renovation and visualization for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry.<\/p>\n

These true-to-reality virtual environments \u2014 whether of electrical rooms, manufacturing factories, or modern home designs \u2014 enable quick, efficient design of products, processes and facilities before bringing them to life in the real world.<\/p>\n

They also help companies across AECO and other industries save money, speed project completion and make designs interactive for customers \u2014 as will be highlighted at NVIDIA GTC<\/a>, a global conference on AI and the metaverse, running online Sept. 19-22.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhysically accurate virtual environments help us deliver client projects faster, while maintaining a high level of quality and performance consistency,\u201d said Scott, who\u2019s now based in Austin, Texas. \u201cThe key value we offer clients is the ability to make better decisions with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To construct his visualizations, Scott uses Omniverse Create<\/a> and Omniverse Connectors<\/a> for several third-party applications: Trimble SketchUp for 3D models for drawing and design; Autodesk Revit for 3D design and 2D annotation of buildings; and Unreal Engine for creating walkthrough simulations and 3D virtual spaces.<\/p>\n

In addition, he uses software like Blender for visual effects, motion graphics and animation, and PlantFactory for modeling 3D vegetation, which gives his virtual spaces a lively and natural aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Project Speedups With Omniverse<\/b><\/h2>\n

Within just four years, Scott went from handling 50 projects a year to more than 3,500, he said.<\/p>\n

Around 80 of his projects each month include lidar-to-point-cloud work, a complex process that involves transforming spatial data into a collection of coordinates for 3D models for manufacturing and design.<\/p>\n

Using Omniverse doubles productivity for this demanding workload, he said, as it offers physically accurate photorealism and rendering in real time, as well as live-sync collaboration across users.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreviously, members of our team functioned as individual islands of productivity,\u201d Scott said. \u201cOmniverse gave us the integrated collaboration we desired to enhance our effectiveness and efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Omniverse\u2019s core is Universal Scene Description<\/a> \u2014 an open-source, extensible 3D framework and common language for creating virtual worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cOmniverse\u2019s USD standard to integrate outputs from multiple software programs allowed our team to collaborate on a source-of-truth project \u2014 letting us work across time zones much faster,\u201d said Scott, who further accelerates his workflow by running it on NVIDIA RTX GPUs<\/a>, including the RTX A6000<\/a> on Infinite-Compute\u2019s on-demand cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became clear very soon after appreciating the depth and breadth of Omniverse that investing in this pipeline was not just enabling me to improve current operations,\u201d he added. \u201cIt provides a platform for future growth \u2014 for my team members and my organization as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Scott says his work leans more technical than creative, he sees using Omniverse as a way to bridge these two sides of his brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to think that adopting technologies like Omniverse to deliver cutting-edge solutions that have a meaningful and measurable impact on my clients\u2019 businesses is, in its own way, a creative exercise, and perhaps even a work of art,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
