How to animate a crowd standing around doing nothing. Note people do not stand like statues, so we are building up a collection of minor shuffles etc. More info at http://www.facebook.com/scififunk

The aim of this tutorial is to show you how you can reuse bits and pieces of your existing mocap collection to create this minor pieces of animation.

You could go to the carnegie mocap collection and get some animation source for free, but that would require some tiday up before use.

In this case then I am working from poser ready ani-blocks from the DAZ3d store.

The "work" involved is to extract out these standing mini animations. I show my own collection of 15, and how to perform the extraction.

In part 2 we get down to the business of applying these clips to the crowd (again as quick and easy as possible).
