The future is full of robots with the new Now-Crowd Billboard series, Droids. This product is a perfect complement to the Now-Crowd Billboards - Future Life product, with 33 new Figure Billboard Sequences perfect for your vision of the gleaming cities and far-flung civilizations of the future. Fill your science fiction scenes full of droids and robots walking, talking, and working in high quality, flexible and easy to use billboards... perfect as a backdrop for the main action that you add!
Billboards are a fantastically quick and resource easy way to add background crowds to your scenes. These pre-rendered elements are great to play the background characters in your scene. The Now-Crowd Billboards improves on standard billboards by providing 72 different views for every billboard figure. Change a billboard figure to 12 different horizontal angles and 6 different vertical angles. When your camera moves, the Now-Crowd Billboards can be changed to match!
There are also great scripts to make these billboards easy to use! There is one script to turn the billboards to face the camera and another script to change billboard figure angle based on horizontal and vertical orientation.

Notes
- This product includes:
- 9 DSON Core Installers
- Note that shadows are a weakness for billboards from high up angles (where you can see the shadows clearly). With careful attention to lighting and positioning, you can minimize the issue.
- Sitting Billboards require particular attention to use as the billboard must be placed to interact with a chair. For example, imagine the sitting woman billboard facing away on a chair. Her legs need to be behind the chair but her derriere needs to be on top of the seat and behind the seatback. By being creative you can make it work but not all angles will work in this case. Also, it is helpful to change the scale of sitting billboards to make the feet and derriere align with the chair.
