RPC is a File Format as well as a Platform for handling render-ready content within the world's most popular design visualization products from companies such as Autodesk, Bentley, Robert McNeel & Associates and Adobe.
As a file format, RPC makes adding image-based content as simple as placing the RPC in a scene, freeing users from the painstaking process of creating geometry, materials, mapping textures, and rigging objects to follow cameras. RPC files can contain both image-based data as well as geometry. The variety of image-based data and geometry stored in the RPC file format includes single 2D images, a series of 2D images, and underlying geometry. RPCs are published in several "flavors" including 2D, 2.5D (motion), 3D, 3.5D (motion) and 3D+ (geometry). Details about each of these types of RPCs is below.
As a Platform, RPC is supported natively or via plug-in for over a dozen of the world's most popular 3d design applications such as Autocad, 3ds Max, Revit, Microstation, Accurender, FormZ and Photoshop.
