[Released] Now-Crowd Billboards - Modern Sitting Crowd [Commercial]
Sometimes you need a crowd to just sit and watch! The new Now-Crowd Billboards - Modern Sitting Crowd provides 31 figures sitting bored, excited, drinking, cheering, clapping, and everything in between. Modern Sitting Crowd is the perfect background crowd for sports events, congregations, juries, and more. These high quality, flexible and easy to use billboards are perfect as a backdrop for the main action that you add.
Billboards are a fantastically quick and resource easy way to add background crowds to your scenes. These pre-rendered elements are great to play the background characters in your scene.
Unlike traditional Billboard products, the Now-Crowd Billboards - Modern Sitting Crowd improves on standard billboards by providing 96 different views for each billboard figure. You can view each figure from 12 different horizontal angles and 8 different vertical angles. When your camera moves, the Now-Crowd Billboards can even be changed to match! Note that sitting billboards are more difficult than other billboards, requiring creativity with their positioning, angle, and even scaling to get looking right.
There are also great scripts to make these billboards easy to use! There is one script to turn the billboards to face the camera and another script to change the billboard figure angle based on a horizontal and vertical orientation. Finally, there is a script that pushes your billboard directly away from your camera view or pulls it towards you.

For Iray and 3Delight
No figures included with this product.
No other products are needed to use the Now-Crowd Billboards - Modern Sitting Crowd
Note that Now-Crowd Billboard products are large (10GB+) because of the many textures (96 images per figure x number of figures) and can take a while to download. However, in your scenes, they are extremely resource-light with just one image per figure.

Comments
Awesome - I'd only been thinking in terms of spectators but you show these can also be used to fill up a cafe/diner, etc - bravo!
Looks great and nice range of poses to cover a variety of reactions/emotions :)
Hey, we've been waiting for this!
I am glad you like it. I wanted it to be as versatile as possible.
Great! I hope you will like it.
Definitely one of your more useful sets, though I wouldn't mind seeing another with more poses with characters leaning on non-existent tables and desks for school and office scenes.
Looks very useful. For the future, maybe sitting characters driving cars for traffic scenes.
Looks great.
I do have some school now-crowd billboards. Have you tried those? Or you want more?
Thanks! I will keep that in mind.
Scaling is the best/easiest way. Otherwise, creative use of blocking the view of feet in the floor, etc
Thanks. I hope you will like it!
And this is out! Gonna take a while to download but I've already got a use for it :)
Thank you!
You beat me to the announcement!
I already bought it but wish some of the packets had people more dressed up for more formal occassions. Thanks for the discount.
I have those, but the Japanese one is extremely limited, use-wise, due to the school uniforms, while the problem with the other is aptly demonstated by your own promo illustration.
Ie, nowhere near enough characters to fill a larger classroom, especially if you want them all to look attentive and not just lounging.
It's a Senior Cut Day. Or, it could be the day before Thanksgiving vacation starts, or Christmas vacation, or Easter vacation, etc. : - )
Oh boy, this does look like the product I've been hoping for. Thank you for developing this. Just finished watching the entire video tutorial. It makes things understandable. Thank you for devising these fine billboards.
You're welcome!
I decided to make the crowd fit together, which meant going for a consistent ball game like crowd. I will have to do a more formal one later.
Understood. But it is hard to make these BB products; they usually each take 3 weeks.
It actually looks like a lot like a normal college school auditorium when I was going
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them.
Very nice. Below is my try...
The above image processed in Topaz Studio 2.
Very nice. I recognize some from other sets, too.
That looks great @Artini. You definitely have a crowd My only suggestion is that I would have tried flipping the woman sitting and talking around (xscale -100%) so she looks like she is talking to the sitting guy.
They all look good! My favorite is the desaturated one.
But then she wouldn't look like she was grabbing the chain of the swinging bench. I thought that was a very clever positioning of the billboard and impressed me.
Ah! I didn't see that.
Beautiful pictures. I bought the set, btw, and am downloading the files now. It does take a while. About the pictures: absolutely beautiful. Topaz Studio 2: Is that like Photoshop? I switched to Affinitiy Photo when Adobe refused to sell individual copies of PS and went to online subscriptions. For the work I do, Affinity Photo is fine, and there are even some brushes that I think are better than the PS brushes, at least for CS version 5.1, which is the last PS version I used. I'll look up Topaz Studio 2.
