Now-Crowd Billboards - School Life

Summer's over and it is time to go back to school!  Make the campus and halls of school thrum with life with the new Now-Crowd Billboards - School Life! Paint your school and campus scenes FULL of people walking the halls, studying, talking and sitting quietly during class in high quality, flexible and easy to use billboards... perfect as a backdrop for the main action that you add!

Billboards are a fantastically quick and resource easy way to add background crowds to your scenes. These pre-rendered elements are great to play the background characters in your scene. The Now-Crowd Billboards improves on standard billboards by providing 72 different views for every billboard figure. Change a billboard figure to 12 different horizontal angles and 6 different vertical angles. When your camera moves, the Now-Crowd Billboards can be changed to match!

There are also great scripts to make these billboards easy to use! There is one script to turn the billboards to face the camera and another script to change billboard figure angle based on horizontal and vertical orientation.  Finally, there is a script that pushes your billboard directly away from your camera view or pulls it towards you.

For Iray and 3Delight

    This actually represents a departure for me. I have had some customers request Asian-themed Now-Crowd Billboards in the past. I convinced Daz to let me try an experiment... make a regular Now-Crowd version and an asian-themed version to see if there is a market for more ethnic Now-Crowds. I am excited to see what people think!

    hm i will say, both are very interessting.

    I have planed a school render "series" and the crowd would help a lot :)

    Great to hear!  I find they work really well to make the school crowd, whether high-school or college.  I will warn you however.  The sitting figure billboards take some creativity to work them properly into a scene.  Obviously it is possible (see promos above smiley); I just don't want people to have unrealistic expectations.

    You're welcome!  Hopefully it does well so I can justify doing more.

    The Now-Crowd Billboards - School Life product has been released.  The Now-Crowd Billboards -  AsianSchool Life is coming soon.

    I very much like your Now-Crowd products. However, might I suggest putting a note on the product page that they are very large downloads? Seeing School Life come in at something like 12GB in DIM was sort of eyebrow-raising.

    Is it the number of texture files that makes the product so large?

    smiley  I really keep meaning to do that and forgetting.  Yes, the number of texture files is HUGE.  There are 72 images per figure billboard plus image masks.  Figure conservatively there is 2.5MB per image, 2MB per mask, 31 figures = 4.5MB*72*31 = 10044MB (10GB).  It only goes up from there smiley

  • The fact that they are all in uniform (and it is one that is available here) makes it easy to create main characters that will fit in with it.  I think the Asian one will be on my shortlist when it comes out.

    I will put them on the list.

  • thank you

  • I bought a copy.  I can see where it would be a bit specialized for some people though.  Haven't done anything with the asian set yet, though I have used a couple of your other ones in renders already.

    I think this is a novel idea. I bought one of the earlier ones, medieval I believe. Unfortunately after purchasing I noticed just how huge the files were,......it still sits in dim unused to this day. I think the only way I could use these would be to install one set, use what I need, render, and then delete the package, leaving it back in dim until needed again. I would never be able to leave these on my drives permanently, just too huge.
    Cool idea though and I'm sure they are well done. 

    Sorry about that.  I wish I could do something about the size.  You could only keep 1 of the 72 images for each figure billboard on your harddrive.  The rest could go on a backup harddrive.  That way, you could use it and swap in the files you need when you need them.

    I had an occasion to render "Female Student Raising Hand Billboard" from the back today, and I discovered that her hair has really bad pokethrough with the hood of her sweatshirt. Is there a way you can fix that billboard?
