Competing with tools like ‘MASSIVE’, a company called Golaem will be launching Golaem Crowd for Maya next week at FMX, letting you create massive scenes of thousands of actors within Autodesk’s Maya.
Issued from years of academic researches on virtual humans, Golaem Crowd enables to streamline digital content creation, allowing to:
- Reuse existing motion choreographies on any ground and any character;
- Replace cumbersome fluid fields with pathfinding and collision avoidance algorithms;
- Easily add variety to crowds taking full advantage of individual character behaviors.
In Maya, “people” are represented as Particles so that they can maintain interactive framerates during your design steps.
