"people for people is a set of libraries of 3D human models that give
computer-rendered illustraions a sense of scale, enhanced reality, and
warm pedestrian overtones. "
" Each figure is comprised of several surface mesh entities. The
anatomy is of appropriate proportions, and the models, when rendered,
look somewhat realistic from a distance. I think people for people
strikes the right compromise of render quality and file size for use in
architectural renderings and other applications. You cannot articulate
the arms and legs for animation purposes, so people for people is
appropriate for still images and flythroughs only. "
"You insert people for people into your AutoCAD drawings as blocks.
You can then copy, move, and arrange them as you would any other blocks.
people for people has a sensible and consistent file- and layer-naming
convention and comes with a booklet of color illustrations depicting each
figure's associated filename and layers.
The 3D Studio version's files are in 3DS and Project format with materials
preassigned. 3D Studio release 3 allows you to access an entire suite of
people for people but use only those you need for your current job.
You can position the figures wherever you want, and they are easy to move
around the 3D Studio environment. "
"people for people is a well organized and economical set of
basic rendering components that add to the effect of your rendered design.
If you use AccuRender or 3D Studio, they could enhance your work significantly. "
