  Just got it with the 10yr anni of blender market. What a cool product again.

  I do see one issue, the mesh objects have custom nor als which make them look weird on render time.
  I would also add that preload system you have added in some of your other product. I also added it myself to one of your other product, the vegetation addon. Really helps for a user to see what's happening because it feels like blender is crashing when you add crowd. But you did have done so much work for this addon. This addon is very expanded and the amount of prop work for this addon is insane

  First , I want to say I don't dislike completely and I admitt the models I can see in the lite version are not bad. The majority are well rigged and well textured but ... I feel the addon is maybe a bit incomplete in terms of options , of fast working possibilities , much too expansive for the full version and that the light version , frankly , could have included all the libraries of animations for the 15 characters you give us. Some animations like talking to the cellphone are not at all secondary at my opinion for realism in a city scene, they are crucial but lacking in the light version that already , is pretty expansive for a Blender addon. I felt sad a bit because of that. I thought at the worst , I'd find the lite version enough for most projects but ... I'm not sure after a while testing it.

  Yes , if we were on C4D or 3DSMax, addons would be much more expansive but we're not on C4d , we're on Blender and we frequently deal with different problems C4D users don't have as developpement is financed a lot more in C4D. That's the life , we accept it as a counter part to use Open Source 3d modeler and I admit models like Bproduction gives are esthetically the best actually for Blender but the engine could be better , the price also and the light version. It feels as a demo that is half usable more than a light version. It's a feeling I have, probably because the lack of total animation library.

  My autism animated documentaries projects are stucked since days because I won't have soon the 90$ US to upgrade to the full version. I have teeth problems etc ... that will have priority. I already bought a lot of addons for more than 1000$ and I bust my budget already. The price aspect tells me I'm not the only one NOT buying because of that and the reason is because on Blender , people here are frequently like me , enthousiast pros people that needs low budget but correct solutions. Here we have a correct to nice solution but at a high price making probably half of people hesitate and try Procedural Crowds at the place. I feel people able to pay 200$ CAD for each addon here are more studios but ... the number of pros doing on their own at extremely low budget is growing and this addon would at my opinion beneficiate a lot in terms of $$ to lower the price a bit. The $$$ argument is surely freezing ... possibly half of potential buyers even if yes, those who paid have general good reviews.

  Better marketing needs to be able to get more clients . A bit less margin on each but at the end , probably more $$$ and you could sell PACKS for the addon like ... a special zombie pack , a pack for disabled and special characters etc that would compensate a bit the lower price of the initial full addon. That is what I'd see for better results.

  I feel a bit there is a lack of options and the price , 130$ US ( I'm in Canada so ... near 200$ here ) , seriously is out of my budget for the moment. It would be nice Blendermarket adapt the price to the countries like I see sometimes on Gumroad but it's not Bproduction's fault for this side of my deception. Because I wanted to save money , I bought Procedural Crowd which has more interresting options for fast working ... but I realized they have poor quality models. So the high price of your addon may lead to wasting for the clients that will trie other options and after feel more sad not paying the high price for yours. They begin their adventure with a sad financial moment. If this complete addon was sold at 65 or 70$ US ( near 100$ CAD ) , I'd already have it. Instead , I felt forced to begin with the light version, thinking this was so awesome I had to give a try but I feel incomplete .

  I feel the options should contains essential things like auto-spawn of an entire crowd very quickly, spawn a circle quiclky with a point of interrest like in procedural crowds ... and fast editing options. Like in some clicks . Procedural crowds is awesome for this and the comprehensive menu even if they could also give mor options natively in N-Menu.

  The spawning time is ... sometimes very long for crowds in Population addon , like making my ultra-powerful machine almost crash blender even if there is nothing else in the scene. I feel it could be way enhanced a bit .. at least for Blender 4.1. It's not a deal breaker but at 200$ CAD , it worries me a bit finishing my adventure with frequent crash problems. Bproduction has the same mega lag in Transportation addon when we add cars compared to Polygonic so I feel it's proper to their way of coding. Even one car only can freeze the PC long times but I create actually complete cities using other addons without this kind of lags. Cars are a bit better in Transportation addon too , like in Population for textures and polygons ... but it doesn't feel the time lag is normal. It's sometimes very strange as I run on a pretty high end PC , like 14700k with 96Gb or fast DDR5 RAM and a 4070ti oc ... 3 NVME SSD's etc.

  I feel that in it's actual state of developpement , I'd pay 20$US for the light version and 65.. 70$ US max for the total version that is actually at 130US. If there would be more improvement on speed of operations and more ways to fast spawn , to fast customize groups , crowds etc ... maybe I'd pay 100$US for the complete. At 40$ for the lite version , we should feel we can do same with our 25% of characters than in the 130$ CAD version. The light version makes me a bit sad and as I'm an autistic guy doing documentaries on my own little budget , I feel I don't have the money to spend on something that light version leaves me the only option to get the full . I feel like it's a demo more than a lite version.

  Oh yes , the models are sometimes awesome . I love the rigging quality in general but also, at this price , ideally I'd normally be able to rig my own people and add them in the N-Menu like I can do (with more complex operations) in procedural crowds and I feel I'd have more more options like adding my own Auto-Rig Pro animations in the N-Menu etc , using auto-rig pro libraries ... etc.

  It's not a bad work and I still give 4 STARS on it because I know how it's tough today to sell pluggins with only one final payment ... and still give pretty low attracting prices, good support. As the price argument is almost the main complain I have , I must stay honest on the quality of the products and with a bit of changes ... I feel it would reach 5 STARS.

  The variety and quality of humans in their animation catalog are way better than in the procedural crowds addon. It's more pricey, but worth it.

  Amazing add-on for adding people/crowds to scenes with little effort and less resource usage. Developers are quick to respond to questions. I look forward to future improvements and assets. I think a zombies would be cool, fwiw. :-)

  I'm very much enjoying this population software .A few thing perhaps in the ui for a future update ,the ability to nominate the colours of clothing you want for the model and some every day construction moves - digging, lifting, pushing, pulling,drilling, button pressing, small ladder climbing, stairs, that would make the software even more versatile ,just need the action in your characters as we can then map the action to our own assets eg fridges shovels,power tools , tables , ladders etc

  Great add-on overall. However, there's room for improvement, especially in editing curves for character movement. It's quite challenging at this point. In the future, I hope to see more diversity in female characters and animations, moving away from more masculine traits. It would be nice to expand the range of characters available, including children, elderly individuals, those who are overweight, and so on.
