do you find any of the axyz, low poly3d, got3d useful?

[super gnu]

yep.. at the mo, for the kind of budgets and timescales of arch vis.. theyre pretty much the only option.. but you have to keep em a long way from the camera to avoid ruining any realism you might have achieved!

other option is greenscreen stuff, but thats usually reserved for the really spendy clients, and is not much good for really dynamic stuff.. the motion controlled camera rigs can only do so much!

lowpolygon 3d seems to be most realistic. At least like this guy,

These viz-people are really high quality, but the business ladies cutouts are very very porn. It must be a european thing.

*edit*

Wow @ the nightlife series. I'd flag it as work unsafe

I'll have to check them out

got3d has better 3d people than lowpolygon3d

rocketbox is actually the best in terms of detail and "closeup-ability" but not very cheap (well for what you get it is..)

but even then, its not exactly realistic when you drop them in a scene.. its amazing how easily the eye picks up any inaccuracies when looking at people.. particularly animated ones.. grr. maybe i should ask people to squint when they view my work.

Now that you mention it, i may have been thinking about got3d. I had to populate an african american cultural center with... guess, african americans. I think AXYZ was the only one who actually had a library like this but it came with low poly boom boxes, people doing pushups, baggy pants and shirts...

This is fairly old but it was done with 3d people only,

Later we used a few people that came in both 3d and hi-res cutouts, but i can't remember which library it was.

*edit*

I'll probably but one of those viz people libraries. They seem to be really high quality. And it's probably cheaper than being subscribed to a porn site.

I just picked up the viz-people casual v2. I'll adding an adult in the daycare scene, both interior, and exterior.

I have several models from AXYZ design even black people and they look part of "Ghetto, Pimp" Collection, what they need to complete it is few guns

here is an update, with people!



not perfect, but I am getting the hang of it.

Looking much better Bobby. The kids now need shadows from the scene painted on them. The girl on the far left stands out the most. I'd also expect that the harry potter boy would be darker, due to his position behind the wall.

Thanks, Colin. I did paint shadows, and highlights on them all. I'll give my eyes a rest and look at it more later. Harry Potter is a little bright!

haha, glad you knew who I was talking about Rest your eyes. You've put them into the environment well (Reflections) just need to put more of the environment on them.

to get rid of all the artifacts, I had to crank up settings, and my rendering times were huge. What should I expect for a scene like this? It took 10 hours to render on my small render farm. (6 quad cores with 12 Gig of ram, per machine)
