Crowd simulator for animations

[cristoforo]

Anyone know of a good crowd simulator plug-in for animations? Lots of moving people that do not walk into each other.....or do I just have to do it all manually?

you can use built in tools (Crowd Helper) for example.

massive have an arch viz version on the go but you have to get on the beta (which I aint so dont know much about it) http://www.massivesoftware.com/
People on splines with path constraint is how we go about it

Guess I will have to look into the crowd helper.....if I can ever find the time! Thanks.

XSI's ICE nodes have some crowd simulation stuff in them. There even a tutorial out on The Area about it.
