Aggregate Dynamics for Dense Crowd Simulation

Large dense crowds show aggregate behavior with reduced individual freedom of movement. We present a novel, scalable approach for simulating such crowds, using a dual representation both as discrete agents and as a single continuous system. In the continuous setting, we introduce a novel variational constraint called unilateral incompressibility, to model the large-scale behavior of the crowd, and accelerate inter-agent collision avoidance in dense scenarios. This approach makes it possible to simulate very large, dense crowds composed of up to a hundred thousand agents at near interactive rates on desktop computers [Rahul Narain, Abhinav Golas, Sean Curtis, and Ming C. Lin].

but in a crowd people do stop but here the agents are still moving

awesome....... can we use it in any 3d application like 3dsmax or maya....? this is really usefull in animation film making....

this is a mass :) cool work what software did you use ?

Nice..

Do you know any software that simulates crowd behavior or have you made your own applet?

[stachowi]

they should simulate evacuating a jet during an emergency.

neat
