SIGGRAPH 2024 Recap: NVIDIA’s Groundbreaking Innovations Shaping the Future of the IT Channel
The recently celebrated SIGGRAPH 2025 conference was a pivotal event in the tech world, showcasing the latest advancements in computer graphics and interactive techniques. At the forefront of these innovations is 英伟达 , whose cutting-edge developments are set to redefine the IT channel landscape. If you're an IT channel customer with an eye on NVIDIA's offerings, you'll be intrigued by how these breakthroughs are poised to revolutionise the industry. Here’s an overview of the most impactful announcements from NVIDIA at SIGGRAPH 2024, shared by Bruce Andrews , our Senior Business Manager for TD SYNNEX Global Computing Components Europe.
NVIDIA’s Microservices Steal the Show
Among the highlights at SIGGRAPH 2024 was NVIDIA’s unveiling of new microservices designed to supercharge AI applications and robot training. During several keynotes, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated the company’s advancements in 3D content creation within the NVIDIA Omniverse .?
Now, users can generate 3D objects and scenes using simple text or voice commands, a leap forward from the 2D capabilities seen in AI tools like Midjourney , DALL-E Open Ai , and 微软 Image Creator. This new 3D content generation capability is set to transform industries such as manufacturing, engineering, architecture, film, and gaming, drastically altering how 3D designs and models are created.
NIM Microservices
NVIDIA also announced the release of additional NIM (NVIDIA Interactive Microservices) microservices or APIs, enabling developers to build and deploy applications using NVIDIA’s technology stack, including Generative AI and OpenUSD. These new AI models are designed for OpenUSD development, allowing developers to integrate generative AI copilots and agents into USD workflows. This expansion is expected to accelerate the adoption of USD (Universal Scene Description) across a wide range of industries, from manufacturing to automotive and robotics.

Understanding OpenUSD
Universal Scene Description is more than just a file format - it's a robust, open ecosystem for describing, composing, simulating, and collaborating in 3D environments. Originally developed by Pixar Animation Studios , OpenUSD is a suite of tools that streamlines workflows and enhances team collaboration, whether you're building expansive AI-enabled virtual worlds or developing the tools that make these worlds possible.
At SIGGRAPH 2024, NVIDIA showcased how professional workstations powered by NVIDIA Ada Generation GPUs are rendering USD scenes, particularly in engineering applications. For example, Dell Technologies demonstrated the Omniverse USD on its Precision 5860 and 3680 tower workstations, highlighting the synergy between NVIDIA’s Tensor and CUDA cores and multicore CPUs. This combination is crucial for processing complex 3D tasks within NVIDIA Omniverse.
AI-Driven 3D Environment Creation
NVIDIA has previously demonstrated the power of AI in 3D environment creation with its AI Room Generator Extension, which is now available on GitHub . Powered by NVIDIA DeepSearch and GPT-4, this tool allows users to create environments like warehouses and reception areas using natural language prompts. Instead of manually selecting items from a library, users can simply type commands like “add common items found in a warehouse,” and the AI takes care of the rest.
SIGGRAPH 2024 highlighted NVIDIA’s commitment to driving the future of technology across multiple domains. For IT channel customers, these innovations offer new ways to enhance your product offerings and deliver greater value to your clients. Whether through enhanced collaboration tools like Omniverse, the power of AI-driven graphics, cutting-edge GPUs, or advances in VR/AR and networking, NVIDIA’s latest developments are set to transform the IT landscape. Now is the time to consider how these innovations can be integrated into your product portfolio, helping you stay ahead in a competitive market.
