Miarmy 4.2 New Features

Faster OpenGL Display
OpenGL display frame rate (viewport 1) in Miarmy 4.2 is 6X-8X faster than that of Miarmy 4.0​
  • This gives us smooth viewport experience even if we have tens of thousands of agents, which used to make Miarmy 4.0 very difficult to work with
  • We are on track to enhance the display performance even further later in Viewport 2.0


Faster Simulation
Miarmy internal node communication method (EDT) upgraded and on average this gives us 15% speed up for most simulation logic


Faster Action
2X performance improvement for static action based crowd simulation, the static behavior can greatly benefit scenes such as stadiums and squares


Faster Rendering
Speed up 5X when exporting Arnold and V-Ray render contents, now we can easily render crowd scene filled with tons of thousands of agents without long wait​


Faster Placement
Placement is 6X faster; placement anti-overlap is now 3X-10X (depending on the number of agents) faster, placement node gets optimized and it automatically disables anti-overlap when unnecessary


Better Transition Map
Transition map is now more user-friendly and easy to work with
  • Auto selection tool switching
  • Real time update when dragging nodes in transition map window
  • Mouse right click menu


Better Information Feedback
More friendly agent information feedback mechanism
  • UI will always facing to viewer
  • HP/MP attribute, agent and brain attributes. And more to come


Better BlendShape
