Billboard People

[Zeitgenosse]

Hi everyone,

there is a great hint at the end of Micha's "Making Materials" post.

I would really like to make billboard people.
The material with alpha is no problem, but how can I make a plane of "just the right size" of my billboard person / plant?
The script for aligning people facing the camera is no more available for download at Micha's post - has anyone got the script or a current link for download?

Best regards!

Re: Billboard People

The easiest way to do it is actually use the Picture Frame command in Rhino. That will force the plane to be the same aspect ratio as the image. You will still need to make a vray material on it because we don't currently use the alpha from the Rhino material.

Thanks! The "Picture Frame" did it.

Has anyone got an idea where to get the Alignment script for Rhino?
It would be a great help for my current job...
