NVIDIA’s holiday card depicts a cozy family scene with festive NVIDIA-themed decor, created by collaboration between NVIDIA’s creative team. Reallusion iClone 8.4 offers a realistic crowd creation system and allows live sync with NVIDIA Omniverse.

Artist Andrew Averkin created a 3D winter scene in NVIDIA Omniverse for #WinterArtChallenge, featuring photorealistic details and music. Share winter-themed art for a chance to be featured on NVIDIA Studio and NVIDIA Omniverse social channels.

NVIDIA artists used their collective asset library to create foreground characters, modeled and textured using ZBrush and Substance 3D Painter. Animation and rendering was done in Autodesk Maya, supported by NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPU acceleration.

All files were imported into NVIDIA Omniverse USD Composer for adding realistic elements like fire, candle lighting, and smoke, with real-time editing and feedback using OpenUSD files. Final color grading and upscaling were done in Adobe Photoshop, utilizing AI-powered, RTX-accelerated Super Resolution.

The final compositing was done in Nuke, with NVIDIA Studio’s social channels showcasing the artists’ work, providing tutorials and updates.
