About PySwarm
If you are a DAZ3D Carrara user ON A WINDOWS SYSTEM developing animation sequences that involve swarming or other motion animation by manipulating many different objects, you might find PySwarm a useful tool! PySwarm offers a flexible and easy way to quickly animate objects in your scene just by setting a number of parameters and importing these settings into your scene. PySwarm will automatically insert a number of keyframes that simulate realistic group behavior.
Example scenarios PySwarm is being developed to support:
- Bees swarming around a beehive
- Butterflies flying in an open field
- A herd of horses running through a valley
- An army of soldiers marching, but not in precise formation
- Mechanical spiders swarming a futuristic fort
- Predators moving through a large flock of prey (wolves and sheep, barracudas and fish, “bad guy” moving through a crowd of people)
- Two groups of fighter aircraft in close “fur ball” combat
