    I’m working on a project where I have a swarm of about 50 bees that will spell out three different letters, while swarming randomly inbetween each letter. I’ll be creating the swarm from one single ai file of a bee. Any idea on the best way to do this, besides keyframing everything?

    Thanks!

    Particle Playground (PP) will be able to do this with the help of Kinetic Friction (persistent property mapper). Checkout my COW tutorial, “Fun in Particle Playland”.

    If I were to do this, I’d have more than one PP layer shooting the bees out from different angles. Lots of ways to affect the bees to create a more realistic/chaotic movement.
