Crowd!® is a behavioral animation system that uses artificially intelligent performers to build animations for film, broadcast, and video. Built upon a powerful artificial intelligence framework called Neuro!, the system is capable of controlling thousands of virtual performers in coordinated simulations running on a set of Neuro! Machines (distributed AI servers.)
Additionally, for those technically inclined, Crowd!® also provides access to the Neuro!Script. API. This allows you to directly access and extend the system using a simple scripting language to build your own functions and callbacks.
The Stand-alone Crowd!® User Interface is built upon OpenGL and provides a simple, intuitive, and user friendly environment to setup and export animated scenes. Instead of having to be a programmer to use Crowd!®, a node-based interface allows you to visually develop complex behaviors for digital performers. By animating, or motion capturing, a set of animation cycles, performers within the scene can use non-linear animation to generate a number of unique movements.
