Is a randomly scattering emmiter possible?
I am trying to get a bunch of ants scattering out of a broken ant farm, and have prepared a basic animation of the ant. I am trying to throw that animated model into an emitter object and have them scatter outward in different directions. However, I need them to keep running in random zig-zags once they are out and about. Is this possible and how would I go about doing this?

Do you have the MoGraph module?

No, I do not. Do you think it would help? Someone told me to use Thinking Particles, but his explanation sounded really complex for someone who has never used them before. Plus I am on a really tight schedule so I need to lock the animation in as soon as possible. Would using Mograph be easier?

Yes, I think it would be easier with Mograph. What I would do is animate x number of ant objects (probably 3-4). Then I’d put them in a cloner object set to radial mode, 0 circumference. Then I’d assign the cloner a random effector set to offset animation. That would do it.
