Concert crowd

[GeoffKornfeld]

I've been tasked with creating a stadium full of people watching a concert. The camera will get closest to the 600 or so that will be crammed together standing in front of the stage, so those need to be animated and look semi-decent.

Max's Populate feature should work for creating those, but it doesn't allow me to bring the people close enough together, requiring me to link each one to a dummy object so that I can move them by hand. Plus a shocking percentage of the characters it generates in idle areas are talking on the phone.

I have some ideas of things I can try but, before I spend a lot of effort on those, I'm wondering if anyone here has some good quick solutions. Does anyone have experience doing this type of thing?

tyFlow can be solution...

Thanks, but that doesn't really help my situation. I do plan to use TyFlow to fill the space with people, but my biggest hurdle right now is getting many human models with diverse appearance that have (preferably) looping animations that I can apply and randomize. They don't need to walk or run, or interact with any walls.

Hi,

There is also this package, looks like it's free to try out too:

Hopefully it might be a bit more varied, or you can use custom models, not sure.. I've not used it myself.
