Since many of you guys have allready used either some
Massive or Behaviour, or some had their home-brewn
crowd simulation implemented (Kim´s tools look nice):

How about the pipeline?

Ideally, endorphin, massive and behaviour could be
mixed, meshes, rigs and animation shared or re-used.

Maybe using motionbuilder as an interchange plattform.

I don´t want to bitch about prices in the $20 000 league
but would say that an average commercial usually wouldn´t
allow for the R&D cycles required to set-up an artdirectable
pipeline but instead would ideally be tackled with off-the-shelf
products like Massive JET plus some Agent Libaries, for crowds
in the 2-250 heads range or better said, uncountable screen fillers?

In a one-two week turnaround cycle including revisions one has
to default to pre-build-ready-to-use stuff that´s known to work, right?

No experiments but industrial level 75% quality guaranteed allready?


Cheers
