A figure that is grown in a running pose could be eco'd as a group of runners.  Each figure with its own range setting for legs and arms for a running pose.  Same with walking pose, and sitting pose.  For sitting crowds, some gould be leaning back some, forward, one leg crossed, ankles crossed, legs straight, arms at lap, arms in pockets, one arm on bench back, etc.  I'm talking about background, very small objects in a scene.  Close-ups would show that hands are not actually touching or may be going through another arm or thigh.  I guess there'd be a female figure or male figure to choose from/  The eco adjusts the age and "race" (hate that word, CG should have a better name for skin color, but skin color is too obvious a solution for a name, but takes away any importance from those that only see themselves by their own skin color, blah blah).

Vue 11 would need ragdoll physics for these meta people to simulate rest positions and better reactions while being sucked into a spaceship overhead.
