I’m an emerging abstract artist and I make handmade abstract art that I’m showing online on my website at www.atelier963hz.com. I’m a little tech savvy too and experimenting with AI etc. I want to showcase my abstract art online from the perspective of someone walking through my own gallery and my art is hanging framed on the wall. Ideally the person looking at the art sees information popping up about the piece when looking at the art piece.
I would love help finding out the right platform or developer app I should use to make this. If I’m right there’s a lot of free developing online on this platform? Also let me know if you want to help me develop this!
I believe the NVIDIA tech has the potential to accelerate the independent artist movement free from the old art establishment helping artists thrive independently.
I think I need to download the USD omniverse to build my own art gallery? Can someone confirm or point me in the right direction with also downloads :D
Yes you can use USD Composer to build a digital twin of your art gallery. But this is just for lighting, materials and cameras. For the actual geometry, you need to build it in a CAD DCC program, like Blender, Maya, Max, Revit etc.
Thanks for your reply. A few follow up questions. Can I access these programs for free? I was expecting the tech to be easy to apply especially because of AI’s possibility to design based on promps. Am I wrong to think this? I got the impression the programs were user friendly free to use as to promote the technical advancement of it.
Great. Can you please help me find the link to download the right programs. I have been looking at the download sections but all I see is link referring to something else. Which programs would you recommend are most user friendly to build a digital art gallery walls and put my own art on the walls digitally (photographs of my art). Thank you so much for your help!!
Well again you will need to actually model the gallery yourself in your own CAD or DCC application like Blender, Maya, Max etc. We can only help you with the rendering side of things here, with USD Composer. Omniverse Platform for OpenUSD Development and Collaboration | NVIDIA
Malou, your vision for showcasing your abstract art online sounds incredibly immersive and engaging! Here are some options to consider for achieving this:
Existing Platforms:
Artsteps: This platform allows you to create virtual reality (VR) galleries. While not everyone has VR equipment, it offers a 3D space where viewers can “walk” through your gallery and see your art hanging on the walls. Some information pop-ups can be integrated with the artwork.
ART. SPACES: Another platform allowing you to create a virtual gallery with customizable walls for displaying your art. Free versions have limitations on the number of artworks, but it might be good for a starting point.
Developing Your Own:
Web Development Tools: Building a custom website with features like 3D gallery navigation and information pop-ups is possible with tools like Unity or Unreal Engine. However, this requires significant programming expertise. There are also web development frameworks like A-Frame that can create basic VR experiences without needing full-fledged game engines.
Freelance Developers: If you’re comfortable with some investment, finding a freelance web developer specializing in creating interactive experiences can help you build your dream platform. Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr can help you connect with developers.
Free Development Options:
While there are free learning resources for web development and game engines, creating a fully-fledged interactive gallery from scratch with minimal technical background could be challenging. A more manageable approach might be to:
Combine Existing Platforms: Use a free website builder like Wix or Squarespace to showcase your main artwork. Then, embed a virtual gallery experience from platforms like Artsteps within your website.
Utilize Online Tools: Explore online tools like “Spoke” or “Artsy” that offer virtual reality experiences for showcasing artwork. These might not provide the full customization you desire, but they could be a stepping stone.
About Your Offer:
While I can’t directly participate in developing your platform (as I’m a large language model, not a developer), I can definitely help you with the following:
Researching: I can help you find more information about the platforms and development tools mentioned above.
Brainstorming Ideas: We can brainstorm additional features and functionalities for your ideal platform.
Creating Content: I can help you write descriptions for your artwork and craft engaging website content.
