    I've never actually seen anyone do huge crowds in a 3d image.

    You sure about that?

    But that's just a bit of overkill... ;-)

    Personally, I'd probably go with rendering up a couple of small groups to png and maybe a shadow catcher, then use those renders in an image editor (GIMP/PS) to fill in the stadium.

    massive is the software I think the have developed for "lord of the rings" right?

    Yep...it was developed specifically to make crowds...like thousands of Uruks to attack Helm's Deep. Kind of hard to get enough extras and stay in budget when the attacking army numbers in the tens of thousands...

    ...I remember in the days of the old big screen epics the plug:

    "...And A Cast of Thousands!"


    ...yeah, those days are long gone.

    Yeah...but those were the days where you could get them for $5/day, a free meal and some tickets to the movie, when it was released.

    Now you've not only got to feed them, but you have to pay them 'real money'...
