Moving As One

Creating a City Crowd

Fleeing

Flocking

In this project you will be working with a high number of agents to simulate crowd behaviour.  You will discover how patterns of movement can be formed from the simpliest of rules that mimic crowd behaviour in the real world.  By the end you will have created a crowded city street scene with humanoid characters walking along a pavement and avoiding each other as well as a simulation of a school of fish.

In this tutorial students will learn the about the three rules used for simulating flocking and begin setting up a project to create a flocking fish scene.  Next, students will program their fish with more flocking mechanisms to get them to follow the simulated rules and keep them confined in a boundary.  Finally, students will complete the flocking simulation and add obstacles to the fish tank.

In this lecture students will learn how the flocking algorithm works and begin setting up a project to create a schooling fish simulation.

In this lecture students will write a basic flocking algorithm to create a school of fish.

In this lecture students will learn how to add a goal position to the flocking simulation.

In this lecture students will learn how to keep the flocking fish within the confines of a bounding box so they can't swim off into infinity.
