Mikael Pettersén - Head of Simulation at MPC Episodic - has prepared a quick introduction to crowds in Houdini. This series is broken down into short chapters, which provide critical foundation knowledge to help you understand and generate your crowds in Houdini 18.5. The last part will cover out how render out your agents with varied materials in Mantra using Material Style Sheets, as well as in Karma. There's going to be party zombies, ragdolls and a police cruiser!

We'll be using the Agent Clip node to animate our guy. You can use FBX, CHOP, USD, and MotionClip (new KineFX thing, since Houdini 18.5) - we'll stick to Character Rig, which gives us some default clips to work with.

You can see the rest of the videos and grab the project files here:
