ABSTRACT
Composed of over 550,000 crowd agents, Ralphzilla of Ralph Breaks the Internet, one of the largest movie monsters ever created and presented a huge technical and artistic challenge.
We introduce a new crowd solver, Moshpit, which performs high resolution inter-body collision among crowd agents. We will also explain how Moshpit was incorporated into Disney's Skeleton Library (SL) and proprietary pipeline automation framework.
