Chapter 27. Presenter RPCs
27.1. RPC Tab
Presenter RPC (Rich Photorealistic Content) support enables the addition of photographic scenery into
any 3D project. RPC files can be bought directly from ArchVision [http://www.archvision.com], and
typically come in libraries of content ranging from trees and plants to people. They also come in a variety
of types.
• 2D RPCs are single-direction 2D photographs that always face the camera, and are a single frame,
looking the same from every angle, and not animating.
• 3D RPCs are objects that have a high number of frames allowing the camera to move around the
object and see it from all angles.
• 2.5D RPCs are single-direction 2D photographs, but are animated. Animated RPCs will only animate
visually when exported as a rendered animation.
• 3.5D RPCs include animation and views from all around the object.
• 3D+ RPCs, often called "Smart Content" are not currently supported by Presenter.
The key benefit to using RPC content is that it only takes a short amount of time to fill a scene with
realistic content and it adds very little to the rendering time.
Like the Materials, Lights and Rendering tabs, the RPC tab is divided into two panes for archives and
palette. This tab is where you set up RPCs (Rich Photorealistic Content).
