Today's experiment with Element 3D v2 and After Effects concentrates on populating the city model with people and vehicles.
This time I added crowds of people to the streets using "M.O.M Crowd generator" by Powerage exported from DAZ Studio. The AS350B helicopter is a free OBJ model. The main and tail rotors are animated automatically using an After Effects expression. The additional cars and trucks are from Stonemason's "Urban Sprawl 2 & 3" exported from DAZ Studio. I also added some temp sounds to add a little life to the environment.
This experiment rendered in 45 minutes with Fog, Motion Blur and Depth of Field settings turned on.
