Abstract:
To meet the challenge of bringing to life dynamic crowds, Pixar implemented a fuzzy-logic-based spring physics system in Massive, which was adapted to drive skeletal chains and keyframe-animated motion cycles. The performance was fast enough to scale well for large crowds and maintain interactivity for previews.
