Editor\u2019s note: This post is part of our <\/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

Video editors have more to look forward to than just April showers.<\/p>\n

Blackmagic Design\u2019s DaVinci Resolve released version 19, adding the IntelliTrack AI point tracker and UltraNR AI-powered features to further streamline video editing workflows.<\/p>\n

The NAB 2024 trade show is bringing together thousands of content professionals\u2028from all corners of the broadcast, media and entertainment industries, with video editors and livestreamers seeking ways to improve their creative workflows with NVIDIA RTX<\/a> technology.<\/p>\n

The recently launched Design app SketchUp 2024 introduced a new graphics engine that uses DirectX 12, which renders scenes 2.5x faster than the previous engine.<\/p>\n

April also brings the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver, which optimizes the latest creative app updates, available for download today.<\/p>\n

And this week\u2019s featured In the NVIDIA Studio <\/i>artist Rakesh Kumar created his captivating 3D scene The Rooted Vault<\/i> using RTX acceleration.<\/p>\n

Video Editor\u2019s DaVinci Code<\/b><\/h2>\n

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful video editing package with color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post-production all in one software tool. Its elegant, modern interface is easy to learn for new users, while offering powerful capabilities for professionals.<\/p>\n

Two new AI features make video editing even more efficient: the IntelliTrack AI point tracker for object tracking, stabilization and audio panning, and UltraNR, which uses AI for spatial noise reduction \u2014 doing so 3x faster on the GeForce RTX 4090 vs. the Mac M2 Ultra.<\/p>\n

All DaVinci Resolve AI effects are accelerated on RTX GPUs by NVIDIA TensorRT<\/a>, boosting AI performance by up to 2x. The update also includes acceleration for Beauty, Edge Detect and Watercolor effects, doubling performance on NVIDIA GPUs.<\/p>\n

SketchUp Steps Up<\/b><\/h2>\n

SketchUp 2024 is a professional-grade 3D design software toolkit for designing buildings and landscapes, commonly used by designers and architects.<\/p>\n

The new app, already receiving positive reviews, introduced a robust graphics engine that uses DirectX 12, which increases frames per second (FPS) by a factor of 2.5x over the previous engine. Navigating and orbiting complex models feels considerably lighter and faster with quicker, more predictable performance.<\/p>\n

In testing, the scene below runs 4.5x faster FPS using the NVIDIA RTX 4090 vs. the Mac M2 Ultra and other competitors.<\/p>\n

Art Rooted in Nature<\/b><\/h2>\n

Rakesh Kumar\u2019s passion for 3D modeling and animation stemmed from his love for gaming and storytelling.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to inspire audiences and take them to new realms by showcasing the power of immersive storytelling, captivating visuals and the idea of creating worlds and characters that evoke emotions,\u201d said Kumar.<\/p>\n

His scene The Rooted Vault<\/i> aims to convey the beauty of the natural world, transporting viewers to a serene setting filled with the soothing melodies of nature.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kumar began by gathering reference material.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
There\u2019s reference sheets \u2026 and then there\u2019s reference sheets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He then used Autodesk Maya to block out the basic structure and piece together the house as a series of modules. GPU-accelerated viewport graphics ensured fast, interactive 3D modeling and animations.<\/p>\n

Next, Kumar used ZBrush to sculpt high-resolution details into the modular assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose an NVIDIA RTX GPU-powered system for real-time ray tracing to achieve lifelike visuals, reliable performance for smoother workflows, faster render times and industry-standard software compatibility.\u201d \u2014 Rakesh Kumar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He used the ZBrush decimation tool alongside Unreal Engine\u2019s Nanite workflow to efficiently create most of the modular building props.<\/p>\n

Traditional poly-modeling workflows for the walls enabled vertex blending shaders for seamless texture transitions.<\/p>\n

Textures were created with Adobe Substance 3D Painter. Kumar\u2019s RTX GPU used RTX-accelerated light and ambient occlusion to bake and optimize assets in mere seconds.<\/p>\n

Kumar moved the project to Unreal Engine 5, where near-final finishing touches such as lighting, shadows and visual effects were applied.<\/p>\n

GPU acceleration played a crucial role in real-time rendering, allowing him to instantly see and adjust the scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kumar then moved to Blackmagic Design\u2019s DaVinci Resolve to color grade the scene for the desired mood and aesthetic, before he began final editing in Premiere Pro, adding transitions and audio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the initial concept required significant revisions, the final result demonstrates the iterative nature of artistic creation \u2014 all inspired by my mentors, friends and family, who were always there to support me,\u201d Kumar said.<\/p>\n
