3ds Max Plug-in “Place People”

With the 3ds Max plug-in “Place People”, static or moving characters can be placed on any type of surface using a 3D path.

What the plug-in can do:

  • Move and rotate walking or standing characters, simply with the mouse.
  • “Stick” characters to any type of surface—the surface can be anything and can simply be drawn in.
  • Create “walkers” that follow a 3D path
  • Place standing people on a surface
  • Create a queue of people on a 3D path
  • Reposition “walkers” or standing characters along the path.

Place People runs on registered PC with 3ds Max 2014 with ServicePack SP3 or higher. Because of important changes in the Populate toolset, it does not run in the 2015 version.
