Editor\u2019s note: This post is part of our weekly <\/i>In the NVIDIA Studio<\/i><\/a> series, which celebrates featured artists, offers creative tips and tricks, and demonstrates how <\/i>NVIDIA Studio<\/i><\/a> technology improves creative workflows. We\u2019re also deep diving on new <\/i>GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU<\/i><\/a> features, technologies and resources, and how they dramatically accelerate content creation.<\/i><\/p>\n

Curiosity leads the way for this week\u2019s featured In the NVIDIA Studio<\/i> 3D artist, Brellias.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what inspired the native Chilean\u2019s latest artwork Estrellitas<\/i>, which in English translates to \u201clittle stars.\u201d The scene expresses the mixture of emotions that comes with curiosity, depicting a young girl holding little stars in her hand with a conflicted expression.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s excited to learn about them, but she\u2019s also a little scared,\u201d Brellias explained.<\/p>\n

The striking visual piece, rich with vibrant colors and expertly executed textures, underscores that while curiosity can invoke various emotions \u2014 both joyful and painful \u2014 it is always a source of change and growth.<\/p>\n

A Sky Full of Stars<\/b><\/h2>\n

To start, Brellias first visualized and reworked an existing 3D scene of a woman in Blender. He used Blender\u2019s built-in multi-resolution modifier for sculpting and added some shape keys to achieve the desired modifications.<\/p>\n

He also created a custom shader for the character\u2019s skin \u2014 a stylistic choice to lend its appearance a galactic hue.<\/p>\n

Next, Brellias tapped Blender\u2019s OptiX GPU-accelerated viewport denoising, powered by his GeForce RTX GPU.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technology helps reduce noise and improve the quality of the viewport image more quickly, allowing me to make decisions and iterate on the render faster,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Next, Brellias animated the scene using a base model from Daz Studio, a free media design software developed by Daz 3D. Daz features an AI denoiser for high-performance interactive rendering that can also be accelerated by RTX GPUs.<\/p>\n

In addition, rig tools in Blender made the animation process easy, eliminating the need to modify file formats.<\/p>\n

To animate the character\u2019s face, Brellias tied drivers to shape keys using empties, enabling greater fluidity and control over facial expressions.<\/p>\n

Brellias then used geometry nodes in Blender to animate the character\u2019s hair, giving it a magical floating effect. To light the scene, Brellias added some ambient light behind the character\u2019s face and between its hands. His RTX GPU accelerated OptiX ray tracing in Blender\u2019s Cycles for the fastest final-frame renders.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, he moved to Blackmagic Design\u2019s DaVinci Resolve to denoise and deflicker the scene for the smoothest-looking animation.<\/p>\n

Here, Brellias\u2019 RTX GPU accelerated the color grading, video editing and color scoping processes, dramatically speeding his creative workflow. Other RTX-accelerated AI features, including facial recognition for automatically tagging clips and the tracking of effects, were available for his use.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Estrellitas<\/i> was partially inspired by Brellias\u2019 own curiosity in exploring NVIDIA and GeForce RTX GPU technologies to power content creation workflows \u2014 a venture that provided rewarding results.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery step of my creative process involves GPU acceleration or AI in some way or another,\u201d said Brellias. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine creating without a powerful GPU at my disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n

His curiosity in AI extends to productivity. He recently installed the NVIDIA Broadcast<\/a> app, which can transform any room into a home studio.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The app has enhanced Brellias\u2019 microphone performance by canceling external noise and echo \u2014 especially useful given his urban surroundings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Download the Broadcast beta<\/a> and explore the rest of the Studio suite<\/a> of apps, including Canvas<\/a>, which uses AI to turn simple brushstrokes into realistic landscape images, and RTX Remix<\/a>, which allows modders to create AI-powered RTX remasters of classic games. The apps are all free for RTX GPU owners.<\/p>\n
