The goal of this project was to fill the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris with a crowd of supporters. To build the foundation of the crowd, we started from the DD Crowd, which was developed for La Cage.

A key requirement of this project was to have spectators waving flags and banners bearing the emblems of the teams they supported. My task was therefore to add agents to the crowd with Vellum cloth simulations, and that had to loop seamlessly to avoid any visible artefact in the crowd. I prepared around fifteen different simulations, a preview of which is shown below.

Texture variation is handled in post-crowd, allowing the correct team flags to be assigned based on each agent’s position in the stadium.
