It's starting to get cold outside and the beautiful colors of autumn have come to the city! Paint your scenes of walks in the leaves, falling rain, and blustery cold full of men, women, and children in high-quality, flexible, and easy-to-use billboards. Now-Crowd Billboards - Autumn in the City (Children and Couples) is 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. 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.

For Iray and 3Delight.

• Note that shadows are a weakness for billboards from high up angles (where you can see the shadows clearly). With careful attention to lighting and positioning, you can minimize the issue. Sitting billboards can also be difficult, requiring creativity with their positioning, angle, and even scaling to get looking right.
