How to work with 3DPEOPLE
I am Marina, head of development of our 3D models here at www.3dpeople.com
To make things easy for you, we want to show you some tips & tricks. If you need help in any way, contact us! Send an email to support@3dpeople.com or by direct chat on our homepage www.3dpeople.com.
Lets get started – Ready Posed
- Our download package for posed figures includes files for 3DS Max and Cinema4D – both as native format and VRAY. Additionally, the files come as OBJ-format, which is compatible with nearly every render-engine available. (Maya, SketchUp, Unreal, Unity, Rhino, Blender, etc.)
- If you need to download your files again, just go to www.3dpeople.com and log in.
- Choose the ready animated / posed model that suits your project best.
- Drop it into your scene!
- Push render!
If you have any problems using our ready posed 3D PEOPLE with your renderer, please let us know at support@3dpeople.com. If you have created some nice looking renderings, show them! We are always happy to share your work!
Lets get started – Ready Animated
The ready animated figures are provided as alembic files, which are supported by 3DS Max 2018 or higher and Cinema 4D R17 or higher.
In 3DsMax:
- Import Alembic Mesh
- File > Merge > locate the models’ files on your computer
- Locate assets
- File > Reference > Asset Tracking Toggle (shift + t)
- Select the missing textures for the model(s) > Right Mouse Click > Set Path > Locate the files on you computer, they are usually in a texture folder next to the model(s)’ files. > Click Ok
- Now repeat the previous step for the Alembic Mesh(es)
Voila!
In Cinema4D:
- Import Alembic Mesh
- File > Open > locate the models’ files on your computer
- Locate assets
- Select the Model group in the scene > copy (ctrl + c) > go to your scene and paste the model (ctrl + v)
- Now you have the meshes but they are not showing. > Select the alembic mesh named complete in the objects list and go to the Attributes tab. > In the object properties click on path to alembic File button > Locate the File on your computer.
- Do the same for each material for the imported models
We have created also a video tutorial. Please enjoy!
