A great look at the behinds the scenes stuff making a stadium shot crowded with people doing the wave by using Softimage ICE courtesy of Manny Papamanos from Softimage Technical Support.
Manny notes “I used states in ICE with geometry instances to do this. The scene contains about 50K rigged characters containing 550 triangles each with many shadow lights. I could have doubled that easily but that’s all I needed”
