wasteland giant Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 As above. Having a look at epictor now but they don't have any. Help! ^^ not these NPR ones. Need real people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Do you use RPC? When I saw your post my mind immediately went to this. (I haven't used that myself, I just remember things.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteland giant Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hmmm, they look... like they're in an infomercial. Not fond of RPCs but in a pinch... :/ Thanks. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Homeless Guy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) The last time I did a lab project I purchased a lab coat from a local thrift store with the intention of making my friends wear it, so I could shoot them in the appropriate poses, and build up my lab people library. Unfortunately the project took a different direction, and that part was never completed, but you get the idea. There will be times we will not be able to find the entourage we want, so it is time to improvise. You might also want to take advantage of a few post Halloween sales to meet these needs. I am sure there are several doctor Halloween costumes that are no longer being used. Edit: Wanted to add a few links to real items, not toys...

There will be times we will not be able to find the entourage we want, so it is time to improvise. I second this route as there isn't really a good lab people library out there. The RPC laboratory people is a joke if you plan on rendering at any decent resolution. The people are all about 600 pixels tall, so if you're rendering at any decent size you're going to see the quality breakdown. Then of course you have the whole lighting issue that they are poorly lit, but that's just what we have grown to accept with RPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippu Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 or you can put some people with opacity and say you want to show the space and not the people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archigineer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 You can try http://www.filmvaultstudios.com, they have lots of green screen clips of doctors, nurses and medical people. I was able to download a free nurse and surgeon clips last month. I am not the owner of this website or work for them. I am also trying my hand at film editing so I am a regular visitor to this website. I keep a collection of their free clips for future use.

Bugga_Guy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think I saw some in Dosch Designs under Vizimages awhile back, not sure how good the poses are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteland giant Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 ^ the dosch people range is pretty bad. We have their dosch urban ones and theres a few women in there with too much make up - the face is all red and weird looking. I personally don't like to use them. we also have private life + casual + business and again, I don't like them. the hospital one, I just had a look and again, not really usable/attractive. The doctor guy is wearing an open toed sandal? we discussed the buy a labcoat + steto option. Will keep you guys updated to see what happens next. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epictor.com Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hi, thanks for taking a look at our library, but i can only agree, we do not have any 'lab' people as for the moment. i personally quite like the idea, and added it as a bundle idea to our list. perhaps we are able to get some authentic shots somewhere. are you interested in a special kind of lab? with best regards felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteland giant Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 looking for scientists/people in white coats/doctors. Can I assert one thing though. While posing talking is fine. What is best for these is: people walking towards/away sideways. In a realistic fashion. The dosch products... a lot of the people are hamming it up and in static poses. Sometimes, you don't want to look at them you know... (obviously not such a low camera angle - woman walking away would be perfect!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteland giant Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) a few more (bottom two would be perfect). Edited November 4, 2009 by wasteland giant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epictor.com Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 thanks for the images. though you don't have to worry about poses - we're ourselfs doing arch vis on a regular basis and know pretty well what kind of images work and which don't. im just wondering: the people shown on those image seem to classify as doctors or nurses, or basically beeing described as 'hostpital'. which is kind of different than people seen in a 'laboratoy'. anyhow, we won't be able to produce and release a bundle within a timeframe for your project - unfortunately :/ only thing we can offer right from the stand, is to 'cut out' sample images you're able to find on the internet / stock libraries. (actually we're thinking to offer this as a service - i think we got quite good with removing backgrounds ) cheers, felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
