- I like to give our development partners a plug when I can to support those working with our technology.
This time it is for 'New Visual Solutions Ltd' and their Quickscape product from the UK.
Since the FBX capabilities between Revit and 3DS Max have been introduced, more users are creating renderings and animations in 3DS Max.
To complete the scene you need some existing and proposed ground models which obviously can be designed in AutoCAD Civil 3D and brought through into 3DS Max and Max Design (improved with the Civil 3D Object Enabler).
But then you need to add many features to bring your project alive such as road signs, signals, road lines and markings, fences/railings, vehicles, trees, people etc …….
This is where Quickscape will prove itself to be useful.
