I was wondering if m:a does crowd simulations of any kind? Or can you use a Lightwave plugin with m:a to do crowds in Lightwave?

No artificial intelligence ala Weta's army-of-orcs thingy, but check out the scene: "crowd_demo"
Don't know who did this, but it is incredible. A whole marching column taking their individual walk cycles from four keyed reference figures, and the percentages can be animated per slider!

Thanks to Patrick! I still get all inspired when I open this one up! And this was back from the plug-in version - so cool!
