Crowd Supervisor @ The Mill -- In this crowd heavy, action packed spot for Vodafone, some creative choreography was required, to create mountains of climbing crowd agents. Traditionally this is a task that would have been handled in-house using Massive. However, as our crowd toolset for Houdini at this time was very mature, development could be focused on honing the creative look and enabling a procedural approach to the shots, as there were multiple "crowd mountains" required. Using a combination of the grain solver and some custom HDA's, crowd agents could be stacked and climb, while ensuring their clip speed and foot and arm placement was correct.
