Rendered image with photorealistic entourage
People
Revit Architecture includes ArchVision
®
realpeople
™
for more realistic renderings. ArchVision realpeople
are pictures of actual people and objects from multiple angles that display using a technique called image-based
rendering. They are part of ArchVision's RPC (Rich Photorealistic Content) product family.
In a Revit entourage family for people, you can use an RPC file to specify a rendering appearance. You can
place people in floor plans and 3D views, where each person is represented by a placeholder. (You cannot
place people in elevation views or section views.) When you render a 3D view, the people are displayed in
detail.
Revit Architecture provides 2 RPC families for people: RPC Male and RPC Female (for metric systems, M_RPC
Male and M_RPC Female). In each family, types provide render appearances for different men and women.
When you load these RPC families into a project, the Type Selector displays the available people. Select the
desired RPC person, and then place it in a project.
If you purchase additional RPC people from ArchVision, you can add types to existing families for the new
render appearances, or create families for them. See
Creating an RPC Family on page 1206.
Plants
When you render a building and its surrounding site, you may want to include plants and other forms of
vegetation to show landscaping options.
