How Populate Resimulates Selected Idle People

When Populate simulates idle motions, it attempts to avoid producing situations where the same motion is performed at the same time by neighboring idlers.

Some actions are better than others at generating unique motion.

Action	Effectiveness	Comments
Simulate	Best	Simulate chooses the best motions it can find.
Resimulate a group of idlers	Good	For multiple idlers, Resimulate randomly chooses from a set of the best available motions.
Resimulate a single idler	Your choice	Resimulating a single idler cycles through more options than Resimulating multiple idlers does. For a single idler, each time you click Resimulate you see a different initial motion. Repeatedly Resimulating cycles through all reasonable first motions for the idler: You can choose which motion to use.

Simulate

Best

Resimulate a group of idlers

Good

For multiple idlers, Resimulate randomly chooses from a set of the best available motions.

Resimulate a single idler

Your choice

Resimulating a single idler cycles through more options than Resimulating multiple idlers does.

For a single idler, each time you click Resimulate you see a different initial motion. Repeatedly Resimulating cycles through all reasonable first motions for the idler: You can choose which motion to use.
