With our recent post on Populate in 3D Max 2014 we thought we would take a quick look at Crowd FX in Softimage. CrowdFX is part of the Interactive Creative Environment (ICE) of Softimage allowing rapid pedestrian and stadium style simulations.
 Softimage Crowd FX Below is a sample movie created using two crowd emitters with default collision detection. Using 100 agents the model is a simple cross path system but provides a glimpse of the nature of the output:
The modelling system is notably simpler to the current 3D Max Crowd/Delegate system, it will be interesting to see how it compares to Populate…

Regular readers will know that we are big fans of 3D Max here at digital urban. The up and coming 2014 version has a notable feature for anyone interested in urban visualisation – the ability to add crowds to scenes.
 Example Screen Grab of Populate in 3D Max 2014 One of our uses of 3D Max is for agent based modelling, specifically using the Crowd and Delegate System – see (ABM, SketchUp, ArcGIS and Lumion for an example movie). The addition of crowds however has always proved more difficult, especially directly within 3D Max. The new Populate section of 3D Max 2014 aims to address this and it looks impressive, the movie below provides an insight:
3D MAx 2014 should be released anytime soon (we cant seem to track down an exact date), as ever all students get free access and we will be integrating Populate into our Masters Degree next year…

AR-Media is one of the quickest ways to get started in Augmented Reality. The system is free for non commercial use and offers plugins for 3D Max, SketchUp and others with players running on iOS/Android and desktop devices via a webcam. The plugin used to be £100 + but the move to enhanced functionality and free for non commercial use makes it the first place to explore AR.
 AR Virtual Projector on iOS The plugin not only allows us of 3D models and animations but also movies and audio – the clip below demonstrates two example models we have built using AR Media, visualised using the AR Media player on iOS with models uploaded via DropBox:
Mixing AR Tags with 3D Max, CityEngine and Lumion opens up a lot of possibilites for rapid visualisation - head over to AR Media to download the various plugins required.
