PySwarm for Carrara V0.3 Release Demo Reel


Swarming, flocking, schooling, and other realistic "live" animation behavior can be easily achieved using PySwarm simply by selecting the behaviors you wish to simulate, tweaking some animation parameters, importing the script into your scene, and rendering the resulting keyframe-based simulation.

Accessibility

Anyone who has Python and the PyCarrara plug-in installed on their WIndows-based computer can, with minimal effort, render complex-looking animation sequences.

Ease of Use

An essential feature of PySwarm is that, while the Python programming language (through the PyCarrara plug-in tool for Carrara) is used to perform the keyframe animation, PySwarm users do NOT have to know how to program in Python. In fact, PySwarm was engineered in a way that you don't even have to know a scripting language is even being used! 

Fast Results

In addition, PySwarm makes the entire process of adjusting PySwarm parameters, importing the script, and checking the results extremely fast and efficient. It usually takes only 1-2 minutes to go from editing the PySwarm parameters (in PIA) to scrubber verification!
