It's getting late and Christmas is almost here! If all the good little boys and all the good little girls are going to receive their presents on Christmas Eve, Santa is going to need a lot of help! He is going to need a lot of elves, a gaggle of elves if you will, to help finish making the toys and packing the sleigh. Luckily Now-Crowd Billboards - Santa's Elves is here to help!

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. Whenyour 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.
