Hello everyone! In this Blender tutorial we will be learning all about Boids in the Particle System. Boids if you didn't know is an artificial life form used to create flocks of birds and things like that. We will will be going through every setting and learning how it all works.

This is the sort of content Blender needs more of: "here's how every option works."

I litrally am so happy that I feel like crying
I wanted to learn it so bad since when I first used it in Ian Huberts Moths
Thanks a lot

[teamwinftw]

Amazing tutorial! I always wondered how boids worked.

[LO_FLI]

Just finding your tutorials for the first time... almost 2 years into learning blender how is that possible - anyways really appreciate how you explain stuff!

This was the most unfamiliar particle physic type before you show up, but I know it will be my favorite.
Thank you.

Great tutorial, I was trying to do a particle simulation in reverse, this is even better.

The misc sections controls how much a specific particle can move on the different vectors while moving. Turn it down if you want your UFO to move but stay kind of flat/still. Turn everything up if you have fx a fish and you want it to bend and twist a lot as it moves. Does it make sense? Try using an arrow shaped object as the render object. It's hard to see using only spheres and cubes.

It’s fun to give boids collision obstacles, especially when they are following a lead object on a set path. I had not gotten to make them fight or flee. Great video as ever.

Super great breakdown! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much! Understanding the tool and what you can do with it fills me with inspiration for all kinds of nonsensical, but cool ideas! Cheers a bunch!
