How to make a lot of birds fly differently?


Recommended Posts

Hi~guys

I got an assignment from my instructor, to make a lot of birds fly at the same time with different behavior. I have used CHOP network to drive the motion of bird(one bird), but i got an unwanted effect when i copy this bird to POP network, they are all fly on the same behavior.

Has anybody know how to make each bird has different behavior which based on the curve inside the CHOP network?

to offset animation you can use Shift CHOP and copystamp some random number based on particle id

here is modified file with Shift CHOP used

stamped random number from -1 to 1

then scaled by 100 in Shift CHOP (frame mode) so it offsets bird animations from -100 to 100 frames

you can enhance this by using Stretch CHOP in similar way to vary animation speed for individual birds

you forgot to attach bird geo or lock the file node so i made a proxy one
