Per Ruben Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hey, I have a very annoying problem. I often use people in my drawings, and the 3d-people custom tool is very slow. Therefor I use figures from "Entourage Figures". But everytime I does that, some parts of the human goes transparent! To fix this I need to open the set attributes panel, render the figure, and then it works. This to takes lots of time when i need to place lots of people. Anyone knows anything about this?

bcd Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 3d custom people are way too slow - they are virtually unusable. Quote Link to comment
Per Ruben Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 bcd, Do you have a suggestion what to use instead of 3d custom people? I need people in my drawings, often from different angles. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Maybe some image props.... or ghosted people - see Facade image Edited June 28, 2010 by Wes Gardner Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yes, If you can create an image prop and check 'rotate to viewer' in the OIP it might work for you - at least reduce the number of 3d people in the drawing. And keep those in their own class or on their own layer so you only need to turn them on for rendering / presentation. Quote Link to comment
Per Ruben Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hey, Thanx for the answers! I have tried that but i dont like using "real people" in my drawings, than the "ghosted people" looks much better. What do you think about the idea to use the 3d-people tool, and then convert the figure to 3d-polygons? Quote Link to comment
Tom G. Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Look in 3D Warehouse for ghosted people and import them using File > Import > Import Sketchup. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I suggest you hand-sketch your people, then make them into see-through image props. I have just done a search on my web site for image props and i found an old movie that shows grey see-though people. http://www.archoncad.co.nz/search/ Quote Link to comment
