That's really cool!

Nice ... especially using the wave.
How do you control directions ?
1. How do you make sure the fish always move forwards ?
2. Is there a way to control how much they move vertically ?

Killer! I havent tried boids for crowd sim yet, this really gets me interested....

[ZanQdo]

Particles have direction so instanced objects will always move forward. There's the possibility of limiting how much they move vertically yes

Yeah......*smiles mischievously about how to easily crash his computer by cranking the number of fish up to eleven thousand*
