Tasks for the Week:
Implement crowd card into the stage scene.
Crowd Cards Implementation:
As professors and mentors requested, we changed from 3D Crowd Sim to 2D cards. In unreal preview port, I imported the image sequence of crowd provided by Julian.
Then I created Media Player, Media Texture, and Materials for crowds.
I prepared two materials Crowds in the front three rows and ones at the back. For the front crowd cards, I took in the crowd texture, connected RGB to Base Color, connected alpha channel to Opacity and changed Blend Mode to Translucent.
For crowd cards at the back I disconnected base color from RGB and setting base color directly to black. In this way I create silhouette for back crowds.
Finally In level blueprint, using Open Source node and choose the crowd image sequence and the crowd will start moving.
