Get Hands On With Digital Production at SIGGRAPH 2026

Local, private and secure hardware is making a comeback. As AI workloads grow toward autonomous agents, cloud costs rise and privacy concerns intensify, creatives and engineers are turning to powerful workstations that put performance, security and control back on the desk.

At SIGGRAPH 2026, Dell is bringing the future of local AI and visualization to booth 713 with 14 demos at the Los Angeles Convention Center, July 21 — 23. Dell Pro Precision workstations, powered by NVIDIA and AMD, demonstrate a compelling alternative to render farm and recurring cloud costs. When you own the compute, you gain the performance, flexibility and control to run demanding AI and creative workloads locally.

NVIDIA demos how to get more done

Intelligent Compute at Scale with NVIDIA

This demo showcases an agent-assisted creative workflow where artists can transform sketches, mood boards and reference material into production-ready imagery directly within Photoshop, without writing complex prompts or leaving their creative application. An orchestrator agent coordinates vision analysis, generative image pipelines, 3D viewpoint generation and video creation through ComfyUI, automatically returning results back into the artist’s workspace. Powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs, a workstation can enable multiple local AI agents and advanced creative workflows to run together interactively, in a controlled artist feedback loop, simplifying complex production pipelines into intuitive creative tools.

Powering Agentic Creativity with NVIDIA

Watch how a collaborative AI agent, running locally on the Dell Pro Max with NVIDIA GB300, transforms concept ideas into fully realized design visualizations. Working across multiple applications and ComfyUI, it automates complex workflows and speeds creation from concept to completion. Artists stay focused on their vision, providing even more time to create, while the agent handles the rest.

Real-Time Rendering, Redefined with NVIDIA DLSS

When Cycles rendered output is enabled for the Blender 3D viewport, DLSS 4.5 allows for improved visuals with advanced, real-time viewport denoising while avoiding the smearing and artifacting often seen in previous denoising options. This demo will be powered by the Dell Pro Max T2 with the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU.

Resolve in Real-Time

A robot that improvises on the floor

Mitch Chaiet’s studio, Experiential Technologies, builds responsive machines and environments. At SIGGRAPH, he’s mounting a Dell Pro Max with GB10 onto a Unitree G1 humanoid and letting it loose on the show floor with LiDAR to plan its own path through the crowd and answer questions through local speech and vision models. Come by and have a chat!

Destruction on demand

JangaFX built EmberGen and LiquiGen for studios that need fire, smoke, explosions and liquid simulated fast. The tools are known for turning overnight sims into something you can iterate in a session. At the booth, watch JangaFX’s principal VFX artist run EmberGen and LiquiGen on a Dell Pro Max Tower T2 workstation with an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU, where the GPU’s memory lets a simulation scale without slowing down.

Sculpt, composite, render, repeat with Maxon One full suite

Maxon One brings ZBrush, Autograph and Redshift to a single Dell Pro Max Plus laptop. These are three demanding applications that many artists run on separate machines, treating each stage as its own bottleneck. On the Dell Pro Max Plus, Maxon is running them as a single uninterrupted pipeline. The demo offers a firsthand experience of how the laptop handles a complete creative workflow from start to finish, without the handoffs.

Local generative video, beyond the one-GPU ceiling

The renderer that finished Toy Story 5

You saw what RenderMan did in theaters for Toy Story 5. At Dell’s booth #713, Pixar is running RenderMan XPU on a Dell Precision 7875 with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition. With RenderMan 27, XPU is cleared for final-frame production, intelligently distributing rendering workloads across the CPU and GPU rather than leaning on either alone. The demo runs on the same class of hardware Pixar’s artists work on daily.

Private AI on your own desk

Footage that never leaves the building

Topaz Labs built its reputation on upscaling and restoration tools that postproduction houses rely on to rescue or finish footage. Project Starlight is a diffusion model built specifically for video. NeuroStream cuts a large model’s memory footprint by up to 95%, so it runs locally through a NeuroServer process on an NVIDIA RTX card and Dell Pro workstation instead of a server.

Code that stays on the machine

JetBrains makes the IDEs that a large share of professional developers work in daily. At SIGGRAPH, the full stack runs offline on a Dell Pro Max with GB10, including Junie, an agent that takes a coding task and works through it autonomously. A real-time dashboard shows the box managing code generation and image creation simultaneously, with nothing leaving the machine.

A video you can walk around in

4DV.ai rebuilds a full-length video as a volumetric scene made of millions of tiny splats that move with the action. On a Dell Pro Precision Tower T2 with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Workstation Edition GPU, you navigate through the moment with a VR version available to step fully inside. A century of flat rectangles watched from the outside is a reasonable thing to leave behind.

A playable arcade cabinet built like a film shot

Jonathan Winbush is a motion-graphics artist known for moving Cinema 4D scenes into Unreal Engine and virtual production setups. At SIGGRAPH he debuts a playable light-gun arcade experience built the same way, with a layer of AI on top, running on Dell Pro Precision workstation for the first time in public.

A story you feel through a haptic suit

Anchored Memories came out of the Texas Immersive Institute at UT Austin, a research group that builds immersive narrative work. It is a VR piece about a family and a coastline reshaped by rising water, told in a full-body haptic suit, using spatial audio and Unreal Engine with a Dell Precision 7875 and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU that work together to make the experience as real as if you were there.

Visualize brainwaves in 4D

Visualize EEG data and source localization in four dimensions, tracing signals from the scalp back to where they fire in the brain across time using an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 that renders the volumetric brain in motion. The demo shows neural activity before, during and after transcranial magnetic stimulation, an established depression treatment, to determine whether a given plan is working.

Find the shot, not the spreadsheet

The Dell Data Orchestration Engine, running on a Dell Pro Precision workstation with NVIDIA RTX PRO accelerated graphics, turns unstructured footage into enriched, searchable media objects without moving assets out of the systems they already live. Postproduction professionals can ask for a specific shot in plain language, summarize a sequence, or surface visually similar material from prior productions, and get an answer in seconds rather than hours so they can focus on constructing the perfect sequence.

Before you go

Dell’s booth 713 is a 20-by-30 space just inside the exhibit entrance at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The floor is open July 21 and 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and July 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On your way past registration, Dell and AMD are running a headshot studio if you need a fresh profile photo before the show wraps.

Every demo in the booth is staffed by the people who built or run it. If something on this list connects to a problem you are trying to solve, the person who can talk through it with you will be standing right there.
