The presented system clarifies possible connections between existing pedestrian simulations and human character animation. Crowd behavior control is separated from the local realization of the animation. A data-driven skeletal animation is indirectly controlled by a high level animation description. A mechanism is specified to transform behavior assignments into a continuous skeletal animation, which is used for an asynchronous visualization of virtual humans. A graphics hardware accelerated implementation shows the efficiency of the selected approach.
