Hello, I am looking for the name and web of a very expensive AI crowd simulation plugin for 3ds max. I know that it was used for I, Robot movie, but I can't remember the name. So far, I found this plugins: AI Implant: http://www.presagis.com/products/simulation/aiimplant Massive: (It was used for Lord of the rings) http://massivesoftware.com/ Kynapse: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=11390544 Do you know any other middelware for Crowd Simulation? I am specially interested in the plugin that was used in the movie: I, Robot. Thanks. [Edited by - renzosan on August 5, 2009 2:15:48 PM]

Er... I think you mean "crowd" simulation. A crow is a bird.

Anyways, Massive is by far the most common middleware used for crowd simulation in movie production. It's extremely likely that it was used for I, Robot as well.

Apparently Massive was used for "Happy Feet" and "King Kong" as well.
