“…Therefore, literature has dealt with a second perspective of 3D animation, adding variety, to enrich realism. This could pave the way for several interesting applications, such as creation‐support systems for choreographers ([SBT10]). Motion variety and appearance variety are both important in the perceived realism of the crowd, however, we leave the discussion about visualisation aspects in Section 6.…”

Recent advancements in crowd simulation unravel a wide range of functionalities for virtual agents, delivering highly-realistic, natural virtual crowds. Such systems are of particular importance to a variety of applications in fields such as: entertainment (e.g., movies, computer games); architectural and urban planning; and simulations for sports and training. However, providing their capabilities to untrained users necessitates the development of authoring frameworks. Authoring virtual crowds is a complex and multi-level task, varying from assuming control and assisting users to realise their creative intents, to delivering intuitive and easy to use interfaces, facilitating such control. In this paper, we present a categorisation of the authorable crowd simulation components, ranging from high-level behaviours and path-planning to local movements, as well as animation and visualisation. We provide a review of the most relevant methods in each area, emphasising the amount and nature of influence that the users have over the final result. Moreover, we discuss the currently available authoring tools (e.g., graphical user interfaces, drag-and-drop), identifying the trends of early and recent work. Finally, we suggest promising directions for future research that mainly stem from the rise of learning-based methods, and the need for a unified authoring framework.

A dance group requires a formation, quite unlike a solo dance, and thus the arrangement on the stage is critical. We have developed a system to simulate the formations of dance groups. The simulation is executed by specifying the number of dancers, the formation pattern, and the dancing motion with a gamepad. Typical formations used for classical ballet pieces were analyzed, and three formation patterns were obtained. Each dancer's position is calculated by the number of dancers and the selected formations. The system arranges dancers on a virtual stage and simulates dance animations by using motion-capture data obtained from a professional dancer.
