@RiverSoftArt Billboards getting (more) kids
I just found the Store from RiverSoftArt
https://www.daz3d.com/riversoft-art
and because my PC can not run soo much stuff, the billboards seems to be a good idea, but can the creators please also add kids to them? or "more" kids? I found for the beach setup 2-3 but for the school scenes its just hichschool or something, for victorian its only adults, and same for other sets.
Would be nice ;)

Is there a specific era/activity you have in mind? I have a park/recess with lots of kids on my wishlist of billboards to do.
BTW, I will warn you that while very light on Daz resources, these billboards are kinda brutal on HDD space, taking up 10-15GB per product.
Unfortunately, Daz only makes bundles when you release a product, i.e., if I was releasing them all at once.
Hi! great to see you answer self ^_^ ♥
I would love Modern+Medival kids so "poor+rich" medival Kids on marketplace or in the normal life, in the old 1300 days the kids also helped at the work, helping the blacksmith etc.
And modern... yeah everything, maybe with a phone in the hand (sadly normal these days-_-....) or playing (do kids even play today? :o...)
Horror, Apocalyptical etc, isnt really needed.
Much space is not a problem, the bigger question is: Will the billboards need more Power to render? And very sad that there is no bundle :( but maybe also good, I don't think I would like to pay 100€ at one day xD....
(and I guess even with a bundle it would be much more expensive O_O.... and I dont want all, like Party or something, I only make Family Scenarios and Kids dont go in a Disco^^; ok maybe on a halloween party or something).
Apocalyptictic is absolutely needed. The people of the wastelands do indeed make babies.
Ok, thank you for the input.
The billboards are one of the fastest and lightest things you can possibly render.
LOL. I will try and remember.
And don't forget Carl...
Poor boy, had to see things...
You warned me that your content is big but I am just downloading one pack... 15GB are you crazy, what did you put in bluray erotic collection? xD shiiiet duude I assume every figure is rendererd in UltraHD 8K? :o
Most billboards are rendered at 2048x2048. However, each billboard has been rendered from at least 72 angles, and then there are at least 30 different billboards.
I did buy today a new 1TB HDD (external, my first external wohuuu!) I hope this will help "a little bit" but I will anyway stock up my system for Iray... just need to know what I need for my pc and then yeah build up something new^^....
Just saw you released a new (for me new)
https://www.daz3d.com/now-crowd-billboards--modern-sitting-crowd
but here is my critic... they all have soo much emotions in it... I wish they would be more calmed.
I grabbed this:
https://www.daz3d.com/the-courtroom
and thinked about if your new billboard would fit it good, but... how would it look if all show so much joy and all in that room ;)...
Maybe will the Office Life fit better.
and a question... do you render each person standalone from every perspective? or put you a few in the image with enough space, and then move them together ? Would really like to know that :D
Yeah, that is a problem with billboards. I have to decide on a style. I thought these would work for most situations but not for a courtroom obviously
Each person is rendered standalone from all 72+ perspectives.
wow... would you make a "Behind the Scenes" clip how it looks how 1 person get created? I would really like to see it :D I like Behind the Scene movies :D I watched all from Game of Thrones and paused them all the time to see all the details :D same for Harry Potter :)
Its some kind of... honoring the work which got spent into it.
We had just today a family dining with... 10+ peoples and I thinked about it to reproduce it and using your sitting stuff, but I think even for that is it not fitting.
I guess this Set is more for... random peoples sitting in the city or something.
Maybe you can/will make a Sitting Version 2, with more calmed for Family situations and for Places where not everyone is excited :D
Would be cool :)
(is there a way to subscribe to you to see if you upload new stuff?^^)
Edit: just found this:
but I still wanna see your version :D And I guess a good PC is there a must have, I would need maybe 10+ Minutes just to render 1 view...
(but that is also a reason why I want/need billboards... saving power/time)
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you found a tutorial; I regret to say I am truly way too busy to make a behind the scenes though I appreciate the thought. As far as subscribing, there is nothing unfortunately.
EDIT: If you browse the commercial forum, I always post a thread for upcoming products.
I do not really look there :D
And I just looked... there are not really much billboards aviable, your bundles + one... I forgot the name... something with "i" xD Instant crowd?
So it seems like you found a niche which is cool and yeah... maybe you can create some bundles :P I really hope you will fill the Billboard market with your work! There are more as enough ideas :D
Like "Daily heroes" Polcie, postman, the paperboy, firefighters, teachers, Parents^^, Kindergarten Groups :D (our little daily heroes^^), Pilots maybe... no Pilots are boring, they are hidden in airplanes.
Sitting people for Vehicles could be a thing and/or maybe filled vehicles, like Taxis with a driver + passagiers, a full boat... I have a lot fantasy :)
https://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/discover-wunderland/worlds/ ( I was there 2-3x already, its in Hamburg Germany) That give a lot inspiration for Billboards and scenes ;)
Like a couple having ... love :D in a cornfield :D
There are a couple more. But none of the others have the change angle script and with so many angles. I certainly plan to have many more. A first responders one, kids, definitely both of those. They are on my list.
I think the billboards work out quite well as in (plug) my image. :-)
And, there are a few kids in the set as well.
Description
Summer nights at the park can be fun and enjoyable. Get out and have some fun!
Made with...
I just searched for Billboards and found yours and the other one... also some for Landscape.
Landscapes could also be helpfull, my jpg backdrops sucks... but I got over 1.000 jpg's for backrops xD (collected over 2-3years), I used them in my old time when I made content with Gimp. But for 3D does they not fit soo much... a flat Kitchen doesnt fit so good.
But Peoples are really needed + a problem... I just wanted to make a family scene, because we had at xmas and now at birthday big family fests and I wanted to rebuild it but... my PC can not even handle a scene with mum, Dad + kid sitting at one table -_-.... so rip Dad, he had to leave xD
I coulod try to produce Billboards too, but I need already 10-30Mins to create one char with good looking clothes... and you have to create then also a good useable pose and all... I am happy when I complete my chars :D Right now have I one Mum+Dad prebuild, I need to create Gandma/Grandpa and maybe also more strangers, but I dont think I can use them anyway :(
Recreating our family setup would need Billboards ;) @RiverSoftArt maybe this give you some inspiration how people sit together :D
And yes our little boy did stand there very danger... kids dont think about it how they stay... (and he had socks with little hearts ♥ hihi :D )
Me + our little boy are not on the pic, so the setup is not even full :D
about angle script, yeah that sounds useful! I still didnt had the chance to try out one of your billboards, but I really like the concept...
https://www.daz3d.com/baroque-grandeur-conversation-poses
That pack could maybe help for getting ready to use poses for billboard creations :)
I just checked the 35mm thing... tbh, I have no idea how cameras work, I have a real camera who can make 4K photos :D (like the one I posted is made with it) but in Daz... no idea :D
Looks good. Thank you for sharing!
The Modern Sitting Crowd are more for crowds at events, though they can be used for more. I made a conscious decision about the poses, trying to capture the widest variety of situations that I could. If you look at the image above, there are a couple more reserved women sitting.
But I dont think they would fit in my Family scene or even in the Courtroom or some other places from me, so i hope to see more varitions :)
How long do you need ca. for one billboard product?
Each billboard product takes 3 weeks. Except for some brand new scripting problems (such as when I was trying to learn how to do character conversions), they take the longest.
For billboards it would be good to have some "same people" in different poses.. so you can use them in a comic...
in a row of images as in ... walking not just one image of the person.. but a row of them... so you can see them pass by
sport billboards would be welcome...
volleyball / basketball... (female) also the Beach versions
Thank you for the requests. The problem with the same people is that it means less individual people overall; much less of a crowd
Unless you're in a world where everyone's a clone. :D :D
True
I like that idea... so you can have the same Grandma or Dad in all Scenes :D Or Mother+ Kid, one time playing together, one time a cuddle scene, one time walking hand in hdn in the city...
Would not be bad to have a kind of "Family" Series. But would also be funny if you see them in the 3d Section in a lot Pictures :D "Oh Look they have the same grandma as me" :D
And 3 Weeks wow... thats a lot time consuming! So i hope you can fill this year the shtore with Billboards.
But I must also save money, i wanna buy a new PC, now I learned Daz Studios basics and I love it... I need a PC who can handle it!
See Attachment, Actual Rendertime 4hours and 21 Minutes, just 439 Iteration's. it takes soo long... and I did reduce it from UHD to Quad HD... I have to wait a half day for finishing the image :(
and I had already to delete a person because 2 is enough work -_-... so I hope you work slow so I can buy them xD (I guess I can buy them anyway just in sales... I prefer to buy normally content for ~10€/$ higher ones think I a bit more about it^^).
But with your billboards, I'm sure I can create bigger scenes :D and my images doesnt look anymore so... "empty".
@riversoftart, thank you! I have several of your products that I use quite often. Definately speeds up working with renders.
You're welcome! Thank you for the support.
You can create your own billboard images and use them on the Now Crowd billboard, you just have to move and rotate the billboard manually.
You have to render an image with a blank background, and use/modify that image as a black-and-white silhouette for a transparency map. There's a thread somewhere here in the forums that explains how.
I.ve done this with quite a few of my characters in different poses and rotations, for scenes with a crowd in them.
Of course, I have to do this for my webcomic, because if I keep using the same Now-Crowd people, my readers would notice.
