NVIDIA @ Game Developers Conference 2010![]()
Once again, NVIDIA developers will be presenting at this year's GDC in San Francisco. This is your chance to see new material and success stories from developers that built games like Dark Void, EVE Online, and many others, as well as hands-on opportunities to try out our new tools, including NVIDIA Parallel Nsight (formerly codenamed "Nexus"). NVIDIA be located in the main expo area, booth2008 *UPDATED* 1702 (click here for a detailed map).
As in GDCs past, we'll also be entering the attendees of each sponsored talk into a per-session drawing for one of NVIDIA's latest high-performance GPU's. So come by, learn something, and maybe walk away with a new GPU in the process!
Whether you're a hardcore game developer looking into CUDA, or a visual artist looking for better ways to master shaders, we've got something for you at this year's GDC. Bookmark this page to get the "last minute" updates on what NVIDIA has planned for GDC 2010. Below are the announced NVIDIA-sponsored sessions for GDC 2010, plus other recommended sessions and tutorials:

In this session we will show how an artist can quickly add cinematic scale destruction to their game levels using NVIDIA APEX Destruction. We will demonstrate, step by step, the full authoring pipeline, from DCC tools to final integration into a game engine, including a case study. This session introduces the full NVIDIA APEX suite of artist friendly tools and runtime libraries (Clothing, Destruction, Particles, Turbulence & Vegetation), which greatly speeds up development of scalable, dynamic content without requiring a large engineering effort |
| NVIDIA's New Game Development Environment: NVIDIA Parallel Nsight™ | Speaker: Jeffrey Kiel (Manager of Graphics Tools, NVIDIA), Kumar Iyer (Product Manager, NVIDIA), Sebastien Domine (Senior Director of Development Tools, NVIDIA)
Date/Time: Thursday (March 11, 2010) 4:30pm - 5:30pm
Track: Programming
Experience Level: All | | Come learn about NVIDIA's new development environment for heterogeneous (CPU+GPU) platforms, integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio. This is the world's first GPU hardware source debugger for HLSL shaders, DirectCompute and CUDA C++, and adds powerful DirectX 10 and 11 frame capture and analysis, pixel history, and platform-level performance tools that can show you activities across your GPU, CPU and the operating system. One platform allows you to seamlessly develop CPU and GPU code for the first time. Session attendees will see a live demo of the GPU development environment, and learn how to debug and optimize their GPU code and API usage directly from Visual Studio. Attendees will also learn how to get access to the Beta program for this game-changing development tool. |

Brought to you with the collaboration of the industry´s leading hardware and software vendors, this day-long tutorial provides an in-depth look at the Direct3D® technologies in DirectX® 10, 10.1 and 11, and how they can be applied to cutting-edge game graphics. The primary focus will be on DirectX 11, examining a variety of special effects which illustrate its use in real game content. This will include detailed presentations from AMD and NVIDIA´s demo and developer relations teams as well as some of the top game developers who ship real games into the marketplace. In addition to illustrating the details of rendering advanced real-time visual effects, this tutorial will cover a series of vendor-neutral optimizations that developers need to keep in mind when designing their engines and shaders. |
| Taking Fluid Simulation Out of the Box: Particle Effects in Dark Void |
Speaker: Sarah Tariq (Developer Technology Software Engineer, NVIDIA), Joe Cruz (VFX Lead, Airtight Games)
Date/Time: TBD
Track: Programming
Level: All
| ![]() In this session we will talk about 3D fluid simulation driven effects that we created in the game Dark Void. We will go over the details of how to implement a seamless, scalable and direct-able fluid simulation in a game engine and use it to create the next generation of fluid driven effects. We believe that these techniques are feasible for games, not just tech demos and movies, and we hope to inspire the audience into using such techniques to create amazing effects in their own games. Intended Audience Effects programmers and visual effect artists interested in realistic and visually compelling fluid simulation. Some background in fluid simulation techniques would be useful but not required. Takeaway Highly detailed, interactive fluid simulation is not something we can only hope to see in movies or in tech demos; it is a feasible technology which is being used to make fantastic effects in shipping games today. In this session we will go over the details of how to implement a seamless, scalable and direct-able fluid simulation in a game engine and how to use it to create the next generation of fluid driven effects. |
