Sitting people objects, anywhere?

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

I think I saw a thread about this some time ago but can't find it. Any idea where I should go for sitting people GDL objects?

Great. Thank you very much.

I just got the Alfaville people, which I was not aware they were selling individually (as opposed to as a part of their Architectural Scene package) from Objects Online. At $15 each character it seems a very reasonable price, and definitelly cheaper than the time I spent looking for free alternatives on the web.

Each character has parameters for 3 hair styles, like 10 leg positions including two sitting, like 10 arm positions, head rotation, and material parameters for just about everything. So each little guy or girl (John and Vera are dressed casual, Mark and Rachel more office-like) can be used as several different characters in the same rendering. And you can actually compose people interacting, shaking their hands, etc.

The mac models at least seem to have lost their extensions at some point during zipping and unzipping so there is a bit of extension typing to do, but other than that they seem to be excellent.

David Maudlin should say what happened to his People Library and whether it is updated for 9 ... insanely great number of parameters there AFAIR ...

Djordje:

Since you ask: the currently shipping People Libraries are compatable with ArchiCAD 9. I am in the process of adding 3D hotspots for 36 of the limb movement parameters (see screen shot) so adjusting the poses will be easier and more intuitive. I am doing this work in ArchiCAD 8 so the revised libraries will have this feature for ArchiCAD 8 & 9. More information about the People Library can be seen at:

Thanks for remembering.
