Crowd Simulation with Massive

Create Stunning Crowd Simulations

Massive is the premier 3D animation system for generating crowd-related visual effects for film and television. Using Massive, an animator or TD designs characters with a set of reactions to what is going on around them. This course teaches students how to use Massive's fuzzy logic interface to create autonomous agents from scratch, beginning with a simple crowd of boxes and eventually creating human agents with motion captured actions. Students are also introduced to rigid body dynamics, geometry skinning, variation, and cloth simulation, giving them a strong overview of Massive's feature set.

This course will focus on giving students an understanding of crowd behavior, fuzzy logic systems and Massive's integration of external CG assets.
