Hi
I have some colleagues that are using a java application that does agent based simulation. They can generate agents that move throughout a space. Their app is not a 3d space only a 2d image with moving representational “agents” or points. They want to be able to view the simulation in a 3d space with humans as the agents.
They can generate a text file that will give x y cordinates for each agent every x seconds. Is there a way with biped and/or crowd in max to generate a number of bipeds that each read a text file of a (time) series of xy positions?
Suggestions as to where else to post this question are welcomed as well.
thankyou.

My answer is the same, use maxscript to read the in the file and create keyframes on the biped to move it.
Have you opened the maxscript help and made an attempt to do this, or what exactly have you tried so far?
Take care,
no havent tried it yet as I have no idea about maxScript. I’ll give it a bash though.
