Creating the Mudskipper Pile in Disney’s "Moana 2": A Slippery Problem Space
SessionCrowds (and Songs!)
DescriptionCollisions are a key problem in generating complex crowds animation. The mudskippers in Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Moana 2" presented a particularly challenging scenario as they pack tightly together to form a towering pile. Our solution introduces an additional simulation step to deform the skinned character meshes to resolve contact.
