If you know, what are the specs of the computer you used to make this? I'm thinking of building a computer this summer to do these sorts of things, but I'm not sure what sort of graphics/processor I should include in the build.

[efioram]

@xcpunisher I did the animation a while ago, the predators are slightly more elaborate but still low poly mesh. It took a few minutes to calculate the animation, and then a while to render (10-20min.). Had a slow Amd dualcore with 2gb ram and a basic video card. Obviously the faster the better.. Depends on the money

you're willing to pay.. I now have a faster dualcore with 8gb of ram and a gforce 260 videp csrd...

[aceofspades02]

holy shoes!! how did you do that??

[sarge525]

aweeeeee shum

[marprochazka]

it is shame it is not also for Blender game engine

[xLoKoZzx]

Your work is amazing! Could you give me the link for the tutorial of how you did this? I really need it for my project! Thank you and please reply!

[cooperhawk1]

handsome = guapo . I can't say that if I'm talking about some video.

[Scriptofmagic]

Great ! :)

[cooperhawk1]

muy bonito video = very nice video.

[delta97baseball]

[eatcomics]

bonito/a means pretty or beautiful... doesn't it :D

[cooperhawk1]

@eatcomics  Bonito pretty, cute etc.

[TimSAksu]

excellent work

[Mronyxgiant]

hey i tried this and my predator doesn't go after the prey any suggestions

[madlutist]

Stop feeding it for a while. He'll get hungry eventually.

[Mronyxgiant]

nope i tried that too and it still didn't work i even put them in a box then kept them there for the first couple hundred frames but they wouldn't eat the prey

[madlutist]

Well, you can't say you didn't try.

[harrynicholas]

nice, those birds must be hungry though.

[tsuikjoshiomatsu]

thats great, the song, and the animation. all put together

[efioram]

thanx :-D

[mattieshoes]

I just happened across this video because I just implemented a simple 2d sprite boids with no animations (my first attempt at anything in directX). This is pretty spectacular! :-)

[screenmagic13]

I see! Very crafty...

[screenmagic13]

Awesome! Are your prey birds flapping their wings at different times? How did you accomplish the offset?

[efioram]

thanks! It looks like there was an offset but it's an illusion. there are birds flying on their back which gives flapping the opposite direction. I shaped birds in a way it was impossible to tell if they were flying on their backs or just normal.

[SEspider]

Awesome work, Man Reminds me of of Sparrows chasing Hawks away from their nests. Only reversed. ;)

Where can I find the tutorial for this?

[Gerx888]

really cool video! May I ask what song that is?

[efioramonti]

What a wonderful world sung by Louis Armstrong...i love this song..

[basslinegenerator]

are you serious ???

[staphinfection]

Dude! You nailed that!! It's very similar to an actual video I saw of seals hunting fishies. Or maybe it was dolphins... Either way, great job! You totally blow all the other Blender vids away!

[efioramonti]

thanx dude! I appreciate that, spent a few days in tweaking parameters...

[ysvry]

great video

[efioram]

thanxs!

[aleksanderaa]

It's a beauty man!

Just vaisted a whole day and my birds dont

care abaut atractor and predator.

[efioram]

thanks! It's quite tricky to find the right settings... try Gimbels tutorial and then fiddle with the settings, I found that the prioritiy of the settings have a great influence on bahaviour...
