Abstract
Most crowd simulations (CS) in architectural spaces are based on rectangular grids with von Neumann or Moore neighborhoods. A real space, however, is not limited to right angles. This paper focuses on qualitative aspects of CS, namely the agent's behavior. More specifically: whether or not an agent's behavior seems realistic or natural.
