What's New in Character Animation

Populate

The powerful Populate crowd animation feature set now offers increased artistic control, better realism, and improved usability. Designers and artists can give their characters more convincing walking, jogging, passing, turning, and seated behaviors; control more aspects of how their characters are generated to influence the outcome; save textures for customization, sharing, and network rendering; and bake animation for editing and export. In addition, studios can customize Populate through exposure of the functionality in an SDK (software development kit).
