Flocking in v15j+

Recommended Posts

I tried flocking (birds, sphere) in 16rc01 - It appears to be ok. However I did not render, nor test extensively, nor have I ever really used the feature.

 

What I just did:

 

1) new chor

2) right click on chor, new/flocking/birds

3) drag "bird test" model from PWS onto "shortcut to Birds1" in the chor

 

a bunch of "birds" showed up.

 

What are your steps and where does it fail?

 

EDIT: Just tried same as above in 15j+ - seems to work the same

Thank you Nancy!

 

I used exactly the same steps as you did. (except I was using my own model instead of bird).

I did get some (limited) success using flocking in v16, but no luck with v15.

TURN ON DRAW PARTICLES and HAIR!!!! Of course! I had those off by default...

Didn't know they are related with Flocking.

THANK YOU!

(unfortunately in a meantime I already spent entire night animating crowd of 20 characters by the hand... :-( )

You need to have that option on. What is it?

 

Is it show decals? Not sure, Maybe show particles. I will get back to you. Side note Someone told me a problem with flocking is no shadows.

 

Particles, as Kikiriki said.

 

See you
