Hello
We are a german (duesseldorf) based 3dsMax based Studio, currently working on a big VR project. Basically it's an 11 Minute Ride (one single shot!) through a city.
This city has to be crowded. We already produced an 1 Minute Pilot as a fieldtest. Our crowdtool (AXYZ design Anima) worked pretty good for that.
But for the long version we recognize, it's not so easily scalable.
From what I have seen Houdini can handle a big amount of characters pretty good.

I'm not even sure if this belongs in the job section, because to become a job offer, I need some input and thoughts from you. It has to be rendered in 3DSmax (Vray), we need about 2 - 3 thousand Chars. They need to cross streets, avoid passing vehicles… We have a Motion capture stage inhouse. But we have a tight deadline with end of july. if someone is crazy enough, please drop me a mail.

regards
Michael
