Description:
This course offers an introduction to NVIDIA Kaolin library and an in-depth exploration of its physics module. Attendees will learn how to interactively render 3D Gaussian splats, and extend them to physics simulation with collisions using NVIDIA Warp accelerated features.
Bring your laptop and work hands-on on a cloud GPU, reserved for each attendee by the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute.
