The invention relates to a path navigation method for large-scale virtual crowd, which comprises the steps of: firstly, processing static scene objects and generating static local potential energy; secondly, generating a corresponding global potential energy field aiming at each target point according to the static local potential energy; thirdly, processing face-type dynamic objects and generating dynamic local potential energy; fourthly, processing point-type dynamic objects and updating a collision detection grid, and fifthly, for each individual, calculating to obtain the acting force of each potential energy, obtaining final navigation capacity and updating individual state according to the final navigation capacity. The invention has the advantages that the global navigation potential energy is generated by using the static local potential energy field, the arithmetic process of the global potential energy is simplified, the target point can be quickly navigated through a global optimal path, the dynamic objects are considered categorically, the collision among the dynamic objects can be quickly avoided, the individual in the crowed uses independent perception and policy, and various behavioral characteristics are allowed to express.
