kikiriki Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm trying to use flocking system in v 15, but it doesn't work. Can please someone check if it works on his computer before I report the bug... Thank you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited May 7, 2011 by NancyGormezano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikiriki Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikiriki Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 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... :-( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason1025 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
