The incorporation of virtual populations into virtual environmentsenhances the realism of these environments. Many effective algo-rithms have been developed to govern the movement of individualavatars. One [Loscos et al. 2003] combines local navigation rulesbased on a multi-layer data system as in [Tecchia et al. 2001] whileusing goals for way finding. We designed a new system buildingon those ideas that adds new levels to this behavior in the form ofpoints of attraction, evacuations and walking in small groups.
