almost pullin my hair out with this Character Studio 4.0 problem

[Dare]

Pixar, I feel your pain :annoyed:

Ok, I had the same problem, and found it`s tricky to set up crowd with multiple bipeds.....
This procedure works for me : first of all, create your crowd object, and add some behaviors. Then make a delegate, check Random start clip in the biped rollout, and scatter it ten times (or whatever).
Now create one biped object, and copy ten times (or whatever you want) - I found that mirror in place works best for copying the biped all with physiqued mesh .....
In the next step you have to select bip01, make script, save it as mfe, launch shared motion flow, add bipeds to shared motion flow, and click "put multiple bipeds in motion flow".
The last step is off course Crowd ---->solve
The procedure is very complicated, and it is very easy to get wrong somwhere .....
Also, you can`t see the script in the flow before the crowd calculates it, this is how shared motion flow works.

Hope this helps
Best regards
Dare
