Kelley Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I attempted my first bird flock yesterday. Ten birds flew right to left for four seconds. All was well. After that, things went steadily down hill. I have a few questions: [1] The Area of Influence. I can shrink the yellow circle, but the birds stay where they originally appeared. [2] Is is possible to string the birds out in more of a line, instead of a sphere? [3] I re-opened the original doc. that performed well, and added birds [for a total of 30] and extended the time to 18 sec. The birds performed normally for the first four sec. and then flapped wildly like sparrows. [They are seagull types]. I struggled for the rest of the evening trying to find a setting that would cure that. No luck. [4] Late last night, just before calling it quits, I noticed a question mark in front of "Shortcut to Birds 1" [the flock] in the Choreography. [see pic.] Is the doc. corrupted? Or is the Flock behavior just confused? Conflicting settings? Can't find something? [5] The most interesting of all: When I deleted the "Shortcut to Birds 1" and installed a new one at Frame :00, the birds tumble wildly as I move the scrubber to 00:18:00. This is before I even move them to their new position. And when I do move them, the tumbling does not cure itself. Why is A:M giving me the bird?
