In this webinar Autodesk Technical Specialist Mark Schoennagel will take you on a tour of the new Autodesk® Softimage® 2013 Crowd FX technology. Crowd FX is a fully multi-threaded crowd simulation toolset based on Softimage Interactive Creative Environment (ICE) technology.
The new toolset will allow you to easily create massive numbers of interacting 3D characters for truly impressive crowd simulations. These simulations can be rendered inside Softimage or easily exported to Autodesk® 3ds Max® or Autodesk® Maya®. The flexible toolset also allows you to quickly import your characters and animations from any other 3D package. This allows even new Softimage users to quickly create their unique crowd simulations which is perfect for users of the Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya Entertainment Creation Suites!
