Introduction
The world of content generation has revolutionized the creative industry, providing tools that enable visionaries to bring their ideas to life faster. NVIDIA has taken the initiative to empower developers by establishing NVIDIA AI Foundry, a platform that enables companies to train generative AI models on their own licensed data using NVIDIA Edify. This multimodal AI architecture can produce high-quality content, including images, videos, 3D models, and 360-degree HDRi environment maps, all through simple text prompts.
Asset Generation With Edify
Edify is capable of generating a wide range of image types, including images, 3D assets, and 360-degree HDRi environment maps. With Edify Image, developers can create four high-quality 1K images in just six seconds, doubling the performance of the previous model. Additionally, Edify can upscale images to 4K, adding additional details. The images are highly controllable, thanks to advanced prompt adherence, camera controls, and ControlNets, which enable users to guide the generation process.
Edify can also generate artist-ready 3D meshes. The meshes come with clean quads-based topology, up to 4K PBR materials, and automatic UV mapping for easier texture editing. The fast preview mode provides results in as few as 10 seconds, which can then be turned into a full 3D mesh.
Edify can also create environment maps of natural landscapes that can be used to light a scene, for reflections, and even as a background. The model can generate up to 16K HDRi images from text or image prompts. With a desired backplate in hand, users can create a custom HDRi to match instead of spending hours looking for one.
Generative AI by Getty Images
Getty Images is one of the largest content service providers and suppliers of creative visuals, editorial photography, video, and music. It has used NVIDIA AI Foundry to train an NVIDIA Edify Image model to power its generative AI service. The service is available through Generative AI by Getty Images for enterprises and Generative AI by iStock for small businesses and amateur creators.
Conclusion
Edify’s multimodal capability is unique, enabling advanced workflows that combine different asset types. By generating the scene in 3D, artists can move objects around and frame their desired shot – and then use Edify Image to turn the prototype into a photorealistic image. This technology has the potential to transform various industries, including gaming, videoconferencing, and interactive experiences.
