Activity-driven populace: a cognitive approach to crowd simulation.

29 Jun 2009 Simulating a natural-looking virtual populace requires modeling different behavioral levels to mimic how people choose and organize their activities. A multilayer behavior model for crowd simulation can help developers endow each entity with ... Read more...

The virtual marathon: parallel computing supports crowd simulations.

29 Jun 2009 To be realistic, an urban model must include appropriate numbers of pedestrians, vehicles, and other dynamic entities. Using a parallel-computing architecture, researchers simulated a marathon with more than a million participants. To simulate ... Read more...

Brain springs: fast physics for large crowds in WAll*E.

29 Jun 2009 A major challenge of making WALL*E was creating believable physics for human and robot crowds. To do this, Pixar technical directors combined a custom spring-physics system in the Massive software platform with traditional simulation methods. The ... Read more...
