Stadium filled to the rafters at sixty frames per second. Proprietor declares the matter “a modest beginning.”
It is reported that Big Shovel Studio, makers of the celebrated OverCrowd apparatus, has once more filled an entire stadium with animated persons, each cheering, booing and lamenting in perfect accord with the fortunes of the match.
Witnesses describe upwards of eighty thousand spectators, rendered at sixty frames per second upon a single RTX 4090, with not a skeletal mesh out of place.
The OverCrowd technology, presently employed by more than seven hundred creators, converts modular characters into Vertex Animated Instanced Static Meshes and marshals them through Niagara, permitting epic scale at a trifling cost.
Asked for comment, the proprietor merely tapped his shovel and recommended the reader consult the Stadium Spectators pack.
