Join the Thousands of Design Professionals Using RPC Technology

 Traditional visual mediums are burdened with non-existent or expensive, time-consuming alternatives for manipulating 3D image-object information.



The RPC advantage boils down to speed, image quality and ease of use.

Rich Photorealistic Content, has become the preferred method of incorporating complex objects into 3D computer graphics environments. Because RPCs rely on photo image data, the remarkable richness of detail and quality of images far surpasses even the best computer-generated models.

ArchVision has developed several compilations of photorealistic content that can be integrated into 3D models, including assorted collections of trees, people, cars and other objects. These libraries are being utilized in a variety of fields and applications, including commercial and landscape architecture, general design visualization, urban design, construction, product design, simulation and manufacturing.

Thousands of Visualization professionals in more than 85 countries around the world use RPC because it provides a way to represent complex objects in computer visualization projects without relying on polygonal geometry. As a result, RPC delivers faster rendering times and better image quality over traditional geometry-based solutions. The use of continuously updated and synthesized image data creates a stunningly effective 3D illusion, freeing you to realize your vision to its fullest by placing as many people, trees, shrubs, or other RPC objects into scenes as needed to bring them to life. For these and other reasons, RPC technology has been integrated seamlessly into Autodesk VIZ, 3ds max, Autodesk Architectural Desktop (ADT), Autodesk Civil 3D, Autodesk Revit, Robert McNeel & Associates' AccuRender, SGI Performer, Informatix's Piranesi and Bentley MicroStation. This allows the user to take full advantage of the power of RPC with no additional software. RPC technology is currently supported via a plug-in for Maxon's Cinema 4D R9, Newtek's Lightwave and Adobe Photoshop.

RPC technology uses high quality image data combined with minimal polygonal geometry to create the illusion of 3D. By synthesizing image data as the camera moves through the scene, images effectively reproduce the appearance of a 3-Dimensional object without relying on complex polygonal geometry. A remarkably simple user interface makes the placement of RPC content a simple click-to-place operation. An icon is first used to orient RPC content within the geometry of your scene, and at render time, the RPC plug-in calculates the viewing angle of the RPC object relative to the virtual camera. The appropriate corresponding images are then synthesized, creating the illusion that a complete 3D object exists in the scene.

The latest RPC content offerings include ArchVision's Smart Content™ user interface that allows users to interact with content through simple controls right in the interface, delivering unprecedented control within your scenes. For example, when placing a car from RPC Automobiles Volume 1, users can steer the tires by dragging the steering slider control in either direction, or use the built-in spline tool to draw a path for the RPC car to follow at a user-defined speed. The Populous™ 3.5D libraries include people who are viewable from anywhere on the Z-axis at every point in their motion cycles, making them completely camera independent.

With more than 90 collections of automobiles, people, trees, fountains, furniture and other objects, don't let visualization work be limited to tough-to-render, unrealistic, heavy resource-laden polygonal models. Bring something new to the next project. ArchVision's Image-Based Rendering approach delivers true photo-realism and detail, without sacrificing rendering performance.
