How can I run "dense Formation" example correctly? #85

I can not see the true result. I only see this picture. 2018-04-15 18-20-03 But I want to see like this. 2018-04-15 18-16-13 How can I do?

Menge only comes with this simple visualization. The image you want to see came from a separate visualizer. For archaic licensing reasons, we can't release it. So, you are running it correctly; it's just not going to give you the visualization you're hoping for.

Thanks for your reply. 3D human Pedestrians in example videos are very cool! I would like to make this kind of 3D scenarios by myself. How can I do it? What tools maybe can I use? Or what materials can I reference?

That is challenging. There are the beginnings of connecting Menge with Unity (see here. However, those bindings are just enough to get agent positions into Unity. You would still need to introduce animated figures and map the motion to the figures. We/I haven't had the time to do that yet. I've seen some work from some groups doing that, but I don't know if it's publically available. I'll write to find out.

It's very kind of you. I am very excited about 3D-Menge now.

curds01 commented 6 years ago

I haven't heard any word back from the other research group. Sorry. So, for now, there is no ready-to-go sophisticated 3D visualizer.

Thanks for your reply. Menge is an excellent prototyping tool for crowd simulation I have seen. I would like to try to implement the 3D-Menge in my free time. I believe it is very meaningful.

I'd be happy to contribute in any way I can. Are you planning on extending the Unity version? Alternate plan? Let me know and I'll do what I can to help. It would be something that would definitely benefit the entire Menge community.

I would like to connect Menge with Unity. I think maybe I can make a interface to merge them. But I am a green hand, I do not figure out how to implement this function yet.
