This has entered major geek-dom.

Too cool. Keep us posted!

Sounds like the software WETA designed for the Lord of the Rings battle sequences where individuals were programmed with a certain fighting style, hearing range, and vision range. When positioned within range of an enemy, they would turn toward the enemy and fight. Maybe your characters, if placed on snow, could be programmed to ski down!

No joke, I can acutally do this by assigning them to a trail path/track and having them go down at some random varance from the path, going back and forth in their own way. But you would have to assign them to a set of trails. Tree avoidance would be insane to figure out. Interesting though, might be cool to try animating a tree skier in woods and see what it does.

Now that is cool. But you should slow it down a bit.

Right, the final will be longer and slower but for quicker comp rendering I compress it and just use the slider or lower the frame rate.
