Try this link:

This plug-in looks very nice and it's free :thumbsup:
I don't think your going to get near the
functionality of Massive though.

There are a bunch of flocking plugins/scripts on highend for free. Also there is AI Implant: http://www.ai-implant.com/ It was around 5k last time I checked.

hey tripNffall ... cheers for the link :)
nope, you ain't gonna get all the functionality of massive for free, but it uses the same underlying principles of animating the position of crowdmembers. if your're fit in mel, you could write a script that attaches properly moving characters to the particles. i already roughly outlined such a system in here, so a quick search on 'brainbugz' should give you some insights quickly.

cheers, carsten
