Hello guys, I was wondering if there was a solution in gamma for flocking behaviour.
I know about the really nice VL.boids.GPU
but I am looking for something more useable, with obstacle, food source, and predator… Even a 2d sim could help…
Also I would like to be able to managed my fish through a record, to create and kill instance ….
There was this old thread on beta about this, I was wondering if someone had something in VL
Thanks you
Did you try Fuse ? There are node for this, maybe not exactly the same as boids but depending on what you want to achieve visually it could be enough.
Yeah I saw, “seek and flee” and the all category of steering… It’s nice but a little bit overkill for my purpose, and not really a boids behaviour…
I was looking for something more basic and maybe on cpu…
Its basically a interactive installation with a water simulation and some fish to catch … I have already something that work but with a basic wanderer for the movement, i was looking for something more natural for the movement of the fish… a flock…
i remembered one of the first things ever @bjoern did in VL was implementing boids. i dug this out from beta38.1. it opens fine but throws a runtime error. probably needs a bit of a cleanup, but should have all the guts (the basic algorithms) there.
EDIT: gave it a bit of lovvvve. it now does something:
EDIT2: a bit more cleanup. think it should now be disectible.

Hehe, Yeah I was trying to get it without succes :) thanks you for the edit!! Its really nice !!
Blast from the past :) I think it was 2014.

I developed that a few months ago that does all the things, I can try to dig it up.
