What are Ready Posed 3DPEOPLE?
The ready posed 3DPEOPLE are the first of three possible types of 3DPEOPLE. They are photorealistic human 3D-Models, scanned from life in countless different poses and outfits. They are not animated, so they go best in still images – but you can use them in animations anyway, enhancing any scene by adding scale liveliness.
What are Ready Animated 3DPEOPLE?
The ready animated 3DPEOPLE are the second of three possible types of 3DPEOPLE. Unlike the ready posed figures, these are actually animated, so they are ideal for video-production. The clothes are simulated separately to behave physically correct.
What are Ready Rigged 3DPEOPLE?
The ready rigged 3DPEOPLE are latest addition to our shop. If you are planning to have our people act out your own story, these are for you! Our Ready-Rigged 3DPEOPLE are available as Maya or 3DsMax files, including a facial rig. They are provided as FBX, too, and are compatible with most online one-click-animation solutions.
Which software and render engines are supported?
We support the most common 3D-programs such as Maya, 3dsMax, Sketch up, Cinema4D, Rhino and Blender. Most file formats come in multiple versions for different render-engines. Please refer to the individual product pages for further detail. All supported formats will be available for download after purchase.
The animations come as alembic-files, how do I use that?
The Alembic format (*.abc) is very common for animations and has many advantages. Basically, it is an external file that gets loaded by your application when it´s needed, keeping your scene-file small by doing so. You can use numerous copies of the same file, too, without massively increasing your scene-file size. To use the alembic, please make sure the path is set right, so your application knows where to find it. We made an video for 3DsMax, here. If you encounter any issues with the use of our files, please don´t hesitate to get in touch.
The textures are not loading correctly, what is wrong?
Usually our 3DPEOPLE are ready to use as soon as you load them into sour scene. However, depending on the format, the software and the version in use, sometimes the texture maps might need to be re-linked. This is not a difficult procedure, we will be happy to help you out if necessary.
The figure is way too big/too small, what is wrong?
Usually our 3DPEOPLE are set to metric world scale, in centimeters. However, depending on the format, the software and the version in use, sometimes the scale might be interpreted differently. In that case try increasing or decreasing the actual size of the model by factor 10, until it fits the scene. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you encounter any issues. We are at your disposal.
