RPC Plug-ins & DemosPlug-insRPC content requires specialized software to be used within an application. ArchVision has developed several RPC Plug-ins, or add-on tool sets, for applications such as Discreet's 3D Studio® Max and Adobe Photoshop®. ArchVision has also created an RPC application programming interface, or API, that allows ArchVision Development Partners to integrate RPC support within their own applications. Following is a list of Applications that support RPC's Image-based Rendering. If you don't see your application shown below, send that developer an email expressing your desire to see RPC supported within their application. Please copy those messages to Archvision as well at newsupport@archvision.com.
