It's time to get back into the water and have some fun! Fill your Summer scenes at the beach, in the pool, or just playing with water with a variety of high-quality, flexible, and easy-to-use billboards. They're 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 improve 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 the 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. Get Now-Crowd Billboards - Water Fun for your Summertime scenes today! WARNING: Billboards that interact directly with water can be challenging to use and not all angles will work well. Notes: For Iray and 3Delight No figures are included with this product. No other products are needed to use this Now-Crowd Billboards product. Note that Now-Crowd Billboard products are large (multiple GB) because of the many textures (72 images per figure x number of figures) and can take a while to download.
