automatic synchronization

Hybrid or remote work can be streamlined by having the team use the same software. NVIDIA's Omniverse collaboration platform integrates multiple 3D graphics applications so that when architects create visualizations from different locations around the world, they can share a single file in virtual space, and the edits they make automatically synchronize with the file in 3ds Max and other programs.
