An NVIDIA blog article explains how you can transform a simple set of colored globules to create stunning landscapes with the new app.
What is NVIDIA Canvas and how does it work?
NVIDIA Canvas is an application that is part of NVIDIA Studio. It uses the brand’s real-time painting tool, GauGAN –to let:
It works in real-time, as it was said. As you add color blobs to the Canvas artwork space, a second screen displays your entire art in its fully rendered glory.
NVIDIA:
Instead of painting landscapes pixel-by-pixel, choose the type of scene you want to color and then apply a few brush strokes to the artboard. Canvas will create a photorealistic work of art that is lifelike.
You can also swap materials. So if you have an ocean scene with crashing waves, and rocky outcrops it is possible to quickly flip a switch and transform it into grassy rolling hills with trees. All this with the help of AI.
How do you get the NVIDIA Canvas app?
It is easy to download the app. You can download the beta from the Canvas page of NVIDIA Canvas.
It’d be difficult to use. You will need a Windows computer (sorry Mac users) that runs Windows 10 with one of the following GPUs.
- GeForce RTX
- NVIDIA RTX
- Quadro RTX
- TITAN RTX
You can download the beta if you want to, and then let NVIDIA know your thoughts or any bugs you find over at the NVIDIA forums.
