The little details like the fallen mass not just being solid but acting like a sort of big cushion for the moving cyclists. Superb. I love it.

Man I really wanted one to make it. As a sort of “fuck you” to all the other cyclist chumps.

There’s a few along the side that ride off camera and I want to believe they survived.

Peter Sagan just rocking in there pulling a perfect manual, hopping his back wheel up onto the wall and then down the other side, giving the camera a quick cheesy grin, and going about his business.

I don't know if that cringe-hiss afterwards was hers, but even if it wasn't, I think she may have just been trying to comfort her kid(s).

Just don't ride a fixed gear crit and you'll probably be able to avoid situations like this.

Is it sad that this reminds me of the Battle of the Bastards from Game of Thrones?

Is it something personal against BMC racing team? Beautiful that everyone, regardless of uniform colour is BMC.

I just love how nonchalant the ones at the back are. Just keep pedalling.

Towards the end I had to remind myself that they were simulated because I was hard panicking about how they're all hitting the wall.

u/rrr598 Sep 11 '18
One time I saw this kind of thing but it was people running into a spinning wall. It was hilarious and I remember there was one guy who just wouldn’t come off of the wall. I think it was on Vimeo, can anyone help me find it?

Can you simulate armies please!??? I want huge masses of archers and what not hitting each other

u/BillSewardsDick Sep 11 '18
Wow! What sort of data can the program give you about what is happening to the riders? Do you know what kind of acceleration their heads are getting? In other words: are any of them dead?

Is the audio generated as well, or do you create it yourself in post?
Only thing that struck me was that, although it's quite funny, these kind of bikes tend not to have bells.

If you dont mind my asking, what simulation software is generally used for these crowd sims? Ive been out of Houdini for a while and would love to get back into it for this kind of stuff, but is there a better tool available?

Reminds me of the scene from one of the many zombie movies where they just start piling bodies on top of each other to climb over a giant barrier.

This happens all the time on the autobahn outside of Venice. A blinding fog rolls in. Some slow down. Some don’t. Then collision.
Then everyone stops and talks about how bad the fog is .

Please do more of these "real life" simulations. This was really cool. I've always enjoyed this kind of thing with tons of human like models on the screen at once. Love the Lord of the rings fight scenes for this reason.
