Extruded Text Gets a Boost of GPU Juice in this Video Demo from Adobe and NVIDIA






Adobe isn’t saying when it will be an official feature, but the above technology demo – given by Adobe’s director of video product development Bill Roberts off the SIGGRAPH show floor to press and by Steve Forde in the NVIDIA booth (below) – shows how NVIDIA’s OptiX ray-tracing engine powers potential new tools to easily edit extruded texts and other shapes inside an After Effects comp.
NVIDIA's CUDA-based cards like GeForce, Quadro and Tesla will be the required GPU juice to boost this kind of performance. Forde says Adobe and NVIDIA have been working on their "research project" together for some time, so maybe we'll see this in the next version of After Effects?
