POPULATION - HUMAN CROWD SIMULATION ADDON FOR BLENDER

Population is a Human crowd simulator for Blender. Populate your scenes in just a few clicks!

48 3D photo-scanned characters divided into 3 categories: (casual, business and sport). thanks to motion capture we have created a library of 55 movements. Motion capture animations can be automatically applied to any character. they are divided into categories like walk, run, daily life, sport, dance, communication and more!

Create varied and animated scenes! Population work with Cycles and Eevee

Population is Bproduction's most ambitious project. Several years of reflection and long months of development, it is also the addon which required the biggest financial investment to be developed.

MOTION CAPTURE

We are proud to introduce to you a product of excellence, resulting from the advanced exploitation of motion capture technologies. In collaboration with Solidanim, a renowned French studio, we have recorded more than 50 unique movements, captured with unparalleled precision.

Our technology is based on cutting-edge optical capture, utilizing infrared cameras and passive reflective markers, an approach widely considered to be the best on the market. This technology is identical to that used for special effects in the film industry, guaranteeing superior quality.

Each movement of the human body is reproduced with exceptional fidelity thanks to the use of multiple sensors, covering all parts of the body, including legs, arms, torso, head, hands, and fingers. When these movements are combined with our photoscanned characters, we achieve an ultra-realistic simulation of bodily behavior.

55 MOTION CAPTURE ANIMATION

An impressive library of 55 different animations. These animations are thoughtfully categorized into several groups, including movement, daily life, communication, work, Run, sports, dance... Each animation has been crafted with an attention to detail and a commitment to realism. The characters can move, sit, whether on a chair or on the ground, and perform a variety of tasks that reflect daily life. These animations offer unprecedented dynamics and flexibility for your scenes, allowing your characters to naturally engage with their environment. Whether it's modeling a bustling coffee scene or a work scene in offices, our diverse animations will add a new dimension to your creations.

TEXTURE 8K FULL PBR

Each character comes with PBR textures, with resolutions up to 8K. This ensures enhanced realism in all lighting conditions. Textures include diffuse, roughness, ambient occlusion, SSS, specularity, as well as normal maps, all ready for optimized use with Cycles and Eevee renderers.

*8k textures are for HD characters. lowpoly characters have 1k textures (and no sss).

SUBSURFACE SCATTERING

HD characters have an SSS (subsurface scattering) map which allows them to be ultra realistic and let light pass through their skin. The render is amazing!

OPTIMIZED MESH

All characters are available in HD and LOWPOLY. The HD character mesh is about 20,000 faces. LOWPOLY characters are about 4000 faces. lightweight, easy to use and modify. viewport optimized and rendered beautiful. All 3D people are consistently topologized. Our 3d people provide smooth shading from all angles, reducing the need for post-production.

SINGLE PEOPLE MODE

Add only one character at a time to have 100% control over it! make him walk, run, chat, phone...

CROWD MODE

Add a crowd with a click with our system. Choose if you want the crowd to walk in one direction (like in the street for example) or if you prefer the crowd to be generated on a surface, like a town square or in a nightclub.
