RPC

IRender Plus now contains automatic support for RPC (Rich Photorealistic Content)

RPC is the image-based rendering technology of choice for many of the leading animation, CAD, real-time simulation, and 3D modeling software packages on the market today. Native and plug-in RPC support now exists in SketchUp® and Autodesk Revit® using IRender nXt .

Examples

Sample images using RPC Objects from ArchVision RPC Gallery. These images are rendered with various renderers.

Sample objects included with IRender

   If the ArchVision Content Manager is not installed, see ArchVision Content Manager below.)
2. Select a .RPC file and click Ok.
   
3. 
   Place a component in the SketchUp drawing to represent the RPC object.
   
   
4. Render the drawing with IRender Plus.

ArchVision Content Manager

If you click the RPC icon ( ) in IRender nXt toolbar and if the RPC content manager is not loaded yet, this dialog will appear.

• See: Installing RPC - ArchVision Content Manager to install the ArchVision Content manager before use.

Image Quality

The image quality is determined by the resolution of the images stored in the RPC object. The images look best when rendered at about the same size that was used when the original RPC object was created.

Image quality looks best when not zoomed in too far.

Samples

IRender Plus includes a few sample RPC files. For additional sample files go to [ArchVision - RPC Samples].

These sample RPC files can be used with IRender Standard , to you additional RPC elements you must upgrade to IRender Plus
