Egyption Slaves VFX shot
I have been asked to make a shot of Egyption slaves working on a pyramid. I have modelled up the pyramid itself but am now trying to work out how to put thousands of characters onto it.
The shot needs to be as photorealistic as possible as it is going to be put into a short film.
Are there any tutorials out there on how to do this or has anyone got any advice?
Thanks in advance.

I am limited to Maya and after effects. The slaves are quite a way off in the distance so no great detail would be required.hmm, crowd sims are pretty tricky i think.

You could download a trial of softimage since I believe there is a crowd sim ICE thing in there...I do know there aren't quick fixes available.
