Watch our Epic Fest Orlando 2025 presentation

You can now watch our full presentation from Epic Fest Orlando 2025, “High-Performance Crowd Simulations with Unreal Engine”, where we unveiled TerraCrowds for Unreal Engine 5.5.

Introducing TerraCrowds for Unreal Engine 5

We’re excited to introduce TerraCrowds, our high-performance and high-quality crowd simulation plugin for Unreal Engine 5.5. Designed for speed, realism, and scalability, TerraCrowds enables real-time simulation and visualization of massive agent populations in complex environments.

Watch the presentation here:

In this session, we explore:

• The core design ideas behind TerraCrowds
• Integration with Unreal components like MetaHumans and MassAI
• Memory-oriented design and high-performance code patterns (up to 100x faster than object-oriented approaches)
• The Explicit Corridor Map for efficient and realistic pathfinding
• Demos showing natural NPC movement and multi-level planning for digital twins and simulations

Slides from the talk can be found on our LinkedIn post (see below); dive in to see how we approached realism, scalability, and performance in modern crowd simulation.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible: the amazing teams from uCrowds, Utrecht University, and Epic Games (Alban Bergeret, Nikola Jancovicova, Mark Collins, Walt Yates and Sebastien Loze)!
