Product Information

  • Required Products: None

The legions are on the march! The Roman Legion was one of the most effective fighting forces of the ancient world. The Contubernium represented the smallest unit within the legion, a “squad” consisting of 8 men. Follow the same group of men as they perform various activities within the legion, from guarding, marching, fighting, and more! Each product in the Now-Crowd Billboards - Roman Legion series provides a different action for the Contubernium. You can get only the ones you need or the complete Roman Legion set to tell the complete story of the Roman Legion! Fill your ancient world battle scenes with a variety of high-quality, flexible, and easy-to-use billboards. They're 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 improve 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 the billboard figure angle based on horizontal and vertical orientation. Finally, a script pushes your billboard directly away from your camera view or pulls it towards you.

Notes: For Iray and 3Delight

No figures are included with this product.

No other products are needed to use this Now-Crowd Billboards product. Note that Now-Crowd Billboard products are large (multiple GB) because of the many textures (72 images per figure x number of figures) and can take a while to download.

Sitting billboards can also be difficult, requiring creativity with their positioning, angle, and even scaling to get looking right.
