FPSC Crowd System!
Using really low polygon characters, and making them entities, keeping them to only around 20 bones, and only 200 frames of animation or less, These characters make for excellent dynamic prop characters who react to the player, and delete themselves after a while. forgive the terrible models and UV maps and textures. I didn't spend much time on them since they're not supposed to be focal.

Very cool idea and yet again something that is missing from FPSC.

Maybe an abusive/hassle crowd that hurtle abuse or death threats to your passing Player might be a cool idea.

Great work Bugsy.

hey ross tra damus, good idea!
I know this sounds like a team request, but would anyone want to volunteer to work with me on this by, like, better texturing the characters?

CID could you keep posts in my threads relevant to the content I produce? we all have our own reasons to not be backing FPSC-R, however this thread has nothing to do with that.

Could also be used to make large zombie hordes on backgrounds or seen from a far a way. (Yes, I turn everything to zombies) Very nice job! Love what I'm seeing!

Very cool
I am liking the animation variations.

You might also like this one by Errant in which he has 51 characters in one scene.

thanks man, we both knew about our respective crowd systems. I'm gonna wait to stress test my crowds until they're textured nicely, and i've got enough to make a decent looking screenshots to post

Hi Bugsy

Cudos for developing this great system. I created my own crowd by:
1. placing a lot of models standing close together with a default script. Some were shaking like they were freezing while others seemed to be breakdancing!

2. Creating a crowdwall: a wall textured with a dds of the models standing together. Together they "worked".

I'll be in touch soon.

Regards

eugene

hey eugene, lots of character entities together will lag a lot more then my crowdsystem. the wall idea is really nice for far away crowds but i can promise my crowds are much more dynamic.

I'm also offering licensing for the crowds for a small price, email me.

@sic1ne-
it's done by using characters with fewer bones and less animation frames, that are only dynamic entities, and not "actual" characters at all. with my crowd system, 50+ characters with no lag is easily possible, especially since they're low polygon.

Hi Bugsy

I just tested the system and it works very well. With 32 "characters" standing next to each other there was no interference, no frame drop and a test build of under 980MB.

(I placed the 32 guys into an existing scene with many other segments and entities already populating the level.)

Thank you very much. I'll be in touch again.

Eugene
