3D modelling is a technique in which three-dimensional objects are created digitally. These objects are used in areas such as animation, video games, architecture and product design. Using special software, complex shapes, figures and entire worlds can be visualised realistically and in great detail.
Various solutions are required for 3D modelling, including powerful software such as Blender, Maya or 3ds Max, which enable the creation and editing of 3D objects, as well as rendering engines such as V-Ray or Arnold, which generate realistic visualisations. A powerful computer with a good graphics card and sufficient RAM is just as important as additional tools, such as ZBrush for digital sculpting or Substance Painter for texturing. Graphics tablets make it easier to work precisely on details. Asset libraries and plugins also support the creative process, while online tutorials, courses and community forums provide access to knowledge and tips. Collaboration tools such as Slack or Asana and version control systems such as Git ensure seamless project organisation and communication.
The new Supermicro OVX systems, equipped with the powerful NVIDIA L40 GPU, provide an exceptional platform for creating and managing complex 3D virtual worlds. The second generation of these systems includes a range of configurations: The 4U server with up to eight L40 GPUs delivers maximum performance for large projects, while the 4U-4GPU server and the 2U-6GPU server also offer high computing capacities. The 1U-4GPU and multi-node 2U-2Node systems are compact options that offer flexible and powerful solutions for different requirements. These systems combine state-of-the-art GPUs, powerful CPUs, extensive memory and fast NVMe storage in an integrated platform to ensure best-in-class performance for NVIDIA Omniverse™ applications. They are specifically optimised for the creation of photorealistic 3D models and digital twins, providing the performance needed for the next generation of AI applications and virtual worlds.
