These packages offer a rich collection of head shapes and facial variations carefully designed to represent the diversity of human features across the globe. They allow you to populate your scenes with realistic, varied characters and enhance the authenticity of your crowds.

How to use the packages

In the Project window, right-click any item in the list and select Package Manager (Resources).

In the pop-up window that appears, click the package you wish to install, for example Didimo African Female package, and click Download to begin the installation process.

The process takes about 1–2 minutes. Once the download is complete , expand the Resources folder and confirm that a folder has been created. This folder contains the downloaded 3D character models and configuration data required to build and manage crowds.

Our Recommendation

Inside your downloadable package, an installer file named _(PackageName)setup, which simplifies the setup process within the project.

🪄

Setup files are only available for Head Variants Packages

1. Right-click in the setup file and select Run Setup.

2. In the Package Setup drag and drop the corresponding Male or Female template
3. Click Start to begin the setup process.

During setup, all shapes included in the package are automatically imported under the Shape folder associated with the selected template.

A Crowd Rule is also generated with recommended Range (Min/Max) values for each shape, along with the optimal Shape Blend Number. These parameters have been carefully tuned to ensure balanced diversity and realistic results, but can be adjusted at any time.

Finally, a Crowd is automatically created to easily preview the head variations included in the downloaded package.

For more information on using crowd rules to generate crowds, please refer to the Crowd Creation Guidelines.
