The RPC Shadow Light Plugin allows users to quickly and easily generate shadows for RPC Content in their scenes. The plugin provides a new RPC Shadow Light that can be placed in a scene for casting fast shadows.

The RPC Shadow Light Plugin allows 3ds max and Autodesk VIZ users to quickly and easily generate shadows for the RPC Content in their scenes. The plugin provides a new RPC Shadow Light that can be placed in a scene corresponding to the position of a primary lightsource(s) such as the sun.

The RPC Shadow Light works by automatically generating a mask of select RPC Content and then removing light from the scene where the RPCs should cast a shadow. By design, the plugin does not interfere or change any lightsources you have placed previously in your scene.

  • Create 2D, 2.5D, 3D & 3.5D RPCs from any application.
  • Ability to use any source images.

The same plugin works for both Maya versions 5 and 6. Also, the RPC Plugin works in conjunction with the Mental Ray renderer in Maya.

  • RPC Smart Content: RPC Smart Content heralds a new era in the creation of dynamic, easy to use content. With RPC Smart Content the user is presented with content specific controls that take once tediuous tasks and make them as easy as the click of a mouse. The first content collections to take advantage of these new features are RPC Automobiles.
  • More Efficient Rendering: In benchmark tests versus RPC 1.0, RPC 3.0 is up to 400% more efficient. That means that your current scenes will render as much as 75% faster, or you’ll be able to add significantly more RPC content to your scene without an increase in total rendering time required.
  • Editing Tools: RPC 3.0 includes an editing dialog box that makes global changes to your RPC content simpler and faster than ever before. Need to make all of your oak trees taller? Make a global change with just a few mouse clicks. Control jitter? Again, one interface and a few mouse clicks and you’re done. These and other editing options are now at your fingertips.
  • Photoshop Filters for RPCs: While RPC has been an invaluable tool for increasing the realism of computer visualization, sometimes you need a more stylized look. That’s what drove ArchVision to introduce a collection of stylized RPC people several months ago. The success of that collection led us to provide support for Photoshop 5.5 filters. So you can now stylize your current regular RPC content in countless new ways to achieve just the look you’re after.
