But NVIDIA isn't giving up on the third dimension. In fact, they are quietly revolutionizing how we create and interact with 3D. It used to be that to "get 3D," you needed a $50,000 motion capture studio or a team of Maya artists. Now, thanks to generative AI and advanced rendering, NVIDIA is putting 3D within reach of every developer, designer, and dreamer.
Let’s look at two very different eras of NVIDIA’s 3D journey: the retro classic and the bleeding edge. If you were a PC gamer in 2009, you remember NVIDIA 3D Vision . The setup was intense: a 120Hz monitor (rare at the time), a special IR emitter, and a pair of chunky, battery-powered shutter glasses. nvidia get 3d
Forget scanning real objects. Forget spending hours extruding vertices. GET3D is a generative AI model that allows you to create instantly. But NVIDIA isn't giving up on the third dimension
But it was hard to "get." It required specific hardware, specific drivers, and it cut your frame rate in half. Eventually, 4K and high refresh rates won the war, and 3D Vision was put out to pasture. The lesson learned? The Modern Miracle: NVIDIA GET3D Fast forward to 2024/2025. NVIDIA just dropped a hammer blow to the 3D industry with a project simply called GET3D (pronounced "get 3D"). Now, thanks to generative AI and advanced rendering,
The barrier to entry has collapsed. Go get 3D. What would you generate first if you could create 3D models with an AI prompt? A fantasy sword? A sci-fi vehicle? Let me know in the comments below.
