Hello NVIDIA Developer Community, I would like to share a real-time 3D character rendering and visual-effects experiment that I have been developing for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. The project focuses on rendering a GLB character together with GPU-generated heart-shaped trails, procedural r…

Thank you for the guidance. I will review the graphics samples under: /usr/src/nvidia/graphics_demos/ and compare their EGL/OpenGL initialization, rendering loop, buffer management and resource cleanup with my current implementation. I will also use tegrastats to collect GPU utilization, memory …

jetson_cuda_opengl_heart_ribbon_mrs_v1.zip (21.4 KB) This minimal sample intentionally does not include the original GLB character model. It isolates the CUDA–OpenGL interoperability path used by the full application: CUDA-generated ribbon and particle vertices → CUDA-mapped OpenGL VBO → OpenGL…
