Açıklama

Short description:
The free runtime for OverCrowd crowd packs. Drop in thousands of animated, varied characters with a pack, with no setup or baking required.

GET CROWDS at: https://bigshovel.studio

Description:

OverCrowd Lite is the free runtime for OverCrowd crowd packs, such as StadiumPack. It's built on the same engine as OverCrowd, the UE5 crowd plugin trusted by more than 700 creators, and plays back fully configured crowds of thousands of animated characters using Niagara and Vertex Animation Textures, with a minimal performance footprint.

Lite works with ready-made pack content. Every character, outfit, animation and crowd setup comes pre-built in the pack, so there's nothing to bake or convert. Install Lite, open the pack and press Play.

What OverCrowd Lite does

  • Renders thousands of characters as Vertex Animated Instanced Static Meshes

  • MetaHuman-based characters with facial animation, independent of the body

  • Population tools: draw a box to fill it with seats and spectators

  • Runtime animation switching, e.g. home fans cheer while away fans react

  • Animation Modifier volumes to blend animations across sections of the crowd

  • Automatic LODs, from wide shots down to close-ups

What needs a pack
OverCrowd Lite doesn't create new characters or bake new animations. All characters and animations come from OverCrowd packs here: https://bigshovel.studio

Available packs

  • StadiumPack: 30+ cheering and booing animations with facial animation, 8 parameterised heads, 20+ outfits, team reactions, and draw-to-populate seating. [link]

  • More packs coming soon.

Need something custom?
For custom characters, your own animations, integration into an existing project, or broadcast and virtual production crowds, the full OverCrowd toolset is available with 1-to-1 professional support. Get in touch through Discord.
