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!

What is locomotion? You're going to come across sliding agents, which most likely is not what you want to get. So how do you extract the constant speed, and record the actual forward motion from any clip you will use? Press Play!
