Controle de comportamentos de grupos de personagens virtuais

Abstract

This work describes a model for generating steering behaviors groups of virtual characters based on me biologically-motivated space colonization algorithm in the crowd simulation model BioCrowds. The proposition is to create an extension for BioCrowds in order to simulate steering behaviors according to the concept proposed by Craig Reynolds. This approach is named Tree Paths and is responsible for the motion control of characters providing robust and realistic group behaviors. Additionally, some extra behaviors were also studied and implemented in BioCrowds. These are called alignment and formation, and consist in a small elas of emergent behaviors that can also be useful in computers graphics and entertainment.
