RPC Content features in AIA National Convention 2012 Banner.
ArchVision attends and participates in a series of conferences and events each year. These events allows us to showcase the ease of use of RPC Content and more important, meet with customers and partners to discuss upcoming ArchVision technology and features. Events and expos such as these allow you to see, touch, and feel new product and demo new technologies. Invaluable is the face time you have with colleagues, customers and partners. And for many, the continuing education credit hours are of key importance.
This year’s convention will be held in Washington, DC. (Exploring the city at night to photograph the monuments and buildings lit at night is a treat for anyone who appreciates design).
The banner shown above touts the AIA National Convention 2012 theme: ‘the future of the practice of architecture.’ The 2012 Convention looks to be inspiring and we are very pleased to see the use of RPC Content featured in this context.
RPC All Access plan customers now have access to a new library of Rich Photorealistic Content (RPC) from ArchVision®. This RPC collection features a series of automobiles.

We’ve got several tutorials on working with RPC Cars. Visit our help.archvision.com page to access them all. One we recommend frequently is: RPC Seated People in RPC Cars.
One of the top challenges for developers today is building software that will compliment restrictive corporate firewall and security implementations (software and hardware). Applications want to take advantage of a the dynamic content of the web, while IT Departments want to control what data is going into or coming out of their network. Understandably there is a need to control the flow of this data to protect the network. Unfortunately, when a network is overly restrictive it can lose the power of the Internet and access to all of the data outside of a network. ArchVision is actively working to address this need with future versions of our products.
The ArchVision Content Manager (“ACM”) and ArchVision Dashboard are two applications which actively rely upon the Internet. These software tools enable users to access a growing database of RPC Content (33GB+) and drag and drop RPCs into scenes of various applications or download them to local drives. The only thing standing between this conduit of RPC content and plug-ins is a firewall. It is helpful to understand how our applications behave so that they can function in harmony within your IT department’s defined parameters.
Like an Internet browser, the ACM and ArchVision Dashboard communicate accross port 80, a common Internet port, to access the following sites:
Usually opening communication ports enable the ArchVision Content Manager and ArchVision Dashboard should be able to coexist with Firewalls and Internet Security and function as intended. However, sometimes the IT department may restrict permissions for applications themselves. Make sure that Internet Security software is not blocking the ArchVision Content Manager application (rpcacmapp.exe) located in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchVision\ArchVision Content Manager or ArchVision Dashboard (dashboard.exe) located in C:\Program Files\ArchVision\Dashboard.
Feel free to contact me if you have firewall experience, or feedback to share.
ArchVision’s cars are fast. How fast? They go 0 to rendered in seconds. August’s addition of a Honda Insight and Lexus HS 250 will add some additional flair to your arsenal of RPC Parking Lot Cars. Drive the sleek new fuel-efficient Honda Insight or step into the luxury of the Lexus HS 250. Each is a perfect addition to a parking lot, roadway or anywhere else photorealistic cars are needed for a rendering. These are just a small sample of the plethora of other RPC Parking Lot cars you will find when searching the ArchVision Dashboard with keyword “cars.”
View all of the latest additions by clicking on the “Recently Added” button when viewing search results in the RPC Channel. This view shows the recent content additions in the order that they were made available.

RPC Sightings happen everyday around the world, including Lexington, KY, USA. While walking to the office, one of our senior developers spotted a project site development billboard featuring RPC Content. Very cool!

We’ve streamlined our product line and now offer two annual license plans. The ArchVision Software License is designed for customers who prefer to purchase RPC Content separately and / or create their own RPC Content and only require an RPC Plug-in for their application. The RPC All Access Ultimate License is designed for users who want on-demand access to every RPC Plug-in (3ds Max, Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc) and RPC People, Tree, Vehicle and Object we offer.
What do I need to start using RPC Content in my projects?
RPC Content
RPC Plug-in (licensed)
I already own RPC Content
You need a licensed RPC Plug-in(s). ArchVision RPC Content requires a licensed RPC Plug-in (versioned) or enabled licensed application to place and render RPC Content. Many users prefer to purchase RPC Collections for specific projects and / or create their own custom RPC Content using ArchVision’s Creator Software — those users need only purchase the ArchVision Software License (single seat) which includes RPC Plug-ins for 3ds Max, 3ds Max Design and Photoshop and does not include RPC Content.
I need RPC Content and RPC Plug-ins
The RPC All Access Ultimate Licenseincludesevery RPC Plug-in and RPC Content object we create — and is a floating license. This is the “everything-you-need” package. Sold for $499 per year. If you purchased this separately, it would be well over $25,000 in RPC Content and Plug-ins.
I hope this quick overview helps you decide which license plan is right for you. No matter which plan you select, you will need to download and install your RPC Plug-ins using ArchVision Dashboard (RPC All Access Ultimate users get their RPC Content here too).
