Using Crowd Volume Devices

The Crowd Volume device spawns a group of NPCs that you can use for crowd scenes, concert audiences, or anywhere else you want a group of NPCs focused on a particular event. Create a race game and put cheering crowds in the stands, or a musical experience using this device to pack the audience.

This device can also improve island performance by generating a crowd without the need for placing individual characters.
