Research And Implementation Of Film Visual Effect Crowd Animation Based On Geometry Cache

With the development of animation and visual effect film, higher visual quality is required by market and movie audience. Crowd animation attracts increasing attention as it produces impressive scene with numbers of characters. Instance is commonly used in animation which can make crowds in identically same motion such as army. Obviously, instance is limited to animation and visual effect film.A new solution of making crowd animation- crowd animation based on geometry cache is described in this article. This solution which is implemented on Maya speeds up interactive and rendering. And it also makes motion and surface material varied for each character. Experiments and compare are made between two methods- instance and geometry cache based crowd animation.
