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.
NOTE Whilst navigating through the scene, RPCs will always turn to face the camera. If the RPC is 3D or 3.5D
right-clicking it in the Scene Area, and clicking Refresh on the shortcut menu will set it to the correct frame based on
the current camera position. Rendering the scene using the Render button will always refresh all RPCs.
IMPORTANT When publishing a scene using the Publisher dialog box, any RPCs included in that scene are not published
to the Presenter_maps directory or embedded in the NWD file. The size of the files and the fact that most are licensed
currently prohibits this.
Like the
Materials, Lighting 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).
To add an RPC to a palette
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the RPC tab.
2 In the left pane, expand the Templates folder, and drag the RPC icon to the palette on the right.
3 Double-click the RPC icon in the palette.
4 In the RPC Editor, click the ... button in the File Name field.
