How Taitopia Works
Taitopia is a cloud-native 3D visualization platform, so you may expect new experiences different from your previous tools.
Starting Taitopia
When you open a Taitopia scene, a series of process activate to ensure a seamless rendering experience. Initially, the user interface loads directly into your browser, conducting minor 3D computations to enable interactive elements like gizmos and click selection within the viewport.
In the meantime, Taitopia spins up a cloud GPU machine dedicated to your interactive rendering session. This dynamic allocation as well as the starting of the machine may take up to a couple of minutes to initialize, but if you're returning to a recently closed session, you might find the cloud machine still at your disposal, allowing you to bypass the startup phase.
Once the cloud GPU machine is up and running, it begins loading the full 3D scene. Depending on the scene's complexity, this can take varying amounts of time, but should not be longer than a few minutes.
After these steps, you're all set—the power of interactive cloud rendering is now at your fingertips, ready to transform your design with Taitopia's capabilities, all within the comfort of your web browser.
Uploading to the Cloud
A main difference between Taitopia and locally-installed 3D software is that instead of directly loading files from your hard drive, all models and textures used for your cloud rendering project in Taitopia need to be uploaded to the cloud.
Taitopia’s cloud workspace is just as reliable and secure as Google Drive. Taitopia partners with leading cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services to leverage their enterprise-level cloud storage solutions, ensuring that your data is protected with the most stringent security measures available today.
Taitopia encrypts data during transmission and also when stored in the cloud, and in fact, your data is even less likely to be lost or hacked than stored on a personal computer connected to the internet. With Taitopia, you can focus on bringing your artistic visions to life, confident that your digital assets remain private and secure in the cloud.
Interactive Photorealistic Rendering
When you engage with 3D models within Taitopia, every action—from adjusting lighting and materials to changing camera angles—triggers real-time rendering calculations. These interactions are instantaneously synced to the cloud and seamlessly performed by cloud GPUs, which process the data and stream the interactive rendering results back. In other words, data transmission in Taitopia is similar to real-time video communications apps such as Zoom and Google meet, and you can make the most out of Taitopia’s experience when there is a good connection and sufficient network bandwidth.
Instead of adopting generally available 3D engines such as Unreal Engine, Taitopia employs our cloud-native path-tracing renderer built from ground up. Therefore, we are able to offer not only the immediacy of real-time rendering through simply a browser window, but also the accuracy needed to produce photorealistic images that stand up to the scrutiny of design experts.
Taitopia physically simulates the path of light as it interacts with surfaces and materials within the 3D scene, reproducing the complex behaviors of light transport such as reflections, refractions, and shadows. Combined with state-of-the art hardware on the cloud, Taitopia allows you to iterate your design on-the-fly without compromise on quality of your visualizations or wait times to render updated results.
