StinkBug Swarm Generator

View all projects

By Robin Myers

abstract

This documentation acts as the report and manual for my project. It will give the reader an insight into the working process and rationale for the project as well as explaining the features of product and how to use it.
The aim of this project was to produce a tool for Maya that enabled easy generation and control of a swarm of objects. The emphasis for me was to ensure that, with simple control objects and a few parameters to dictate the style of movement within the swarm, an animator could easily direct a swarm to act as required within an animation. It was my intention that this product be used to generate background non-?hero? animation such as birds flying over head, flies round a bin or insects scuttling under foot.
