katiecandraw.com Boids by Craig Reynolds In 1986 I made a computer model of coordinated animal motion such as bird flocks and fish schools. It was based on three dimensional computational geometry of the sort normally used in computer animation or computer aided design. I called the generic simulated flocking creatures boids. Each boid has direct access to the whole scene's geometric description, but flocking requires that it reacts only to flockmates within a certain small neighborhood around itself. a boid's neighborhood A slightly more elaborate behavioral model was used in the early experiments. In cooperation with many coworkers at the Symbolics Graphics Division and Whitney / Demos Productions, we made an animated short featuring the boids model called Stanley and Stella in: Breaking the Ice. Since 1987 there have been many other applications of the boids model in the realm of behavioral animation. A significant property of life-like behavior is unpredictability over moderate time scales.
