Fish Flock - Boid Particles simulation in Blender - II

[staphinfection]

I commend you 'cause this looks way better than anything I'll ever do, but the flock doesn't move like normal fish.

I recommend you go watch some of the excellent Planet Earth footage of fish. The flocks move in these hypnotic quick motions, all spinning and twisting around eachother. It's really fascinating to see in real life.

Can you share the properties of the Boid particle system that you have used?

GREAT JOB, half as many fish would look more realistic, but I get it. great job all the same.

cool! massive numbers must have taken a long time to compute

[dfelinto]

the computation time is not that long. It takes about 25 minutes to bake (calculate the movement of) all the flocks.

I have 15 different flocks sharing 4 particles settings. Each flock has 1,000 fishes.

So we have 15,000 fishes here :)

Very cool!
