Nvidia DesignWorks could make simulated designs more lifelike
by from Techreport on (#H3KA)
It's been a pretty big day for Nvidia's professional graphics group. To go with today's shiny, new Quadro graphics cards, Nvidia has unveiled its DesignWorks initiative, a suite of tools and development libraries for developers of professional design and rendering applications. Nvidia hopes that DesignWorks tools will help developers to incorporate accurate-looking physically-based rendering and materials into their applications. In turn, applications that use DesignWorks tools might help designers create more true-to-life simulations of their work.
According to Nvidia, the DesignWorks initiative encompasses over two dozen tools, from PhysX and the Grid SDK to the Iray SDK and the company's Material ...
