Marvelous Designer Announces USD Support for Integration with NVIDIA Omniverse

Marvelous Designer has announced at GTC 2021 that we will be releasing USD support for NVIDIA Omniverse this summer.

USD support is important for any studio looking to the future. As 3D software packages become more complex and divided, it is increasingly difficult to manage workflows and ensure compatibility between lists of programs and their various features. Connecting through USD to Omniverse means pulling many of these stray threads back together, with the goal of making work easier for everyone in the development process.

This connection will allow teams using Marvelous Designer to work together with new levels of cohesion, no matter how they may be separated across offices or time zones. With USD support for Omniverse, your updates become immediately available to the entire group without the need to search emails and chat messages, or navigate cumbersome subversion systems. 

Assets within Omniverse can be viewed and edited, with each modification visible in real time to every connected member. This allows for live collaboration in the same workspace, as though you and the rest of your team are standing over the same table.

“NVIDIA has developed a uniquely powerful resource for creators with Omniverse.

With high quality real-time rendering and simulation updates as you work, the building and refining of digital spaces can flow as intuitively as teams of 3D Artists have dreamed it could for decades.”

by Eric Hinkley, Business Development Manager - Marvelous Designer

Key points for our upcoming integration with NVIDIA Omniverse:

- Marvelous Designer will transfer 3D cloth modeling & animation data by USD.

- Through the built-in USD mechanism, data can be published to the Omniverse Nucleus database (DB) where it can then update all connected digital content creation applications.

- This mechanism will make it possible to keep track of all local changes since the last publishing event.

- Marvelous Designer users will be able to simultaneously collaborate with each other by receiving the most currently updated character model and animation files in real time.

- This development will improve workflows and boost productivity without the hassle of saving files and manually delivering them to your colleagues.
