I have started a project to create a swarm of fish with help of the boids particle system. The current result is shown below: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/b/5/9/b593f62eadd325ea7f36b20c9986451b353f7a75.jpg) ---

Very cool. It’s to early to say anything more. I’m sure you have further plans for this. ---

I have seen quite a few “Nova” programs that had swarming fish. but they never looked like that. It does look pretty cool though. Maybe a fantasy swarm. ---

Dear crazy\_Minion. I am a university professor in Sweden and I have a request. I love your swarm of fish, and I would love to show it as one of many images at a TEDx talk I am holding in Sweden on Saturday (26/1 2019). Apparently it is quite urgent I get the permission, so I wonder, would you allow me to show it (and of course your name will be written on the slide) ? Best regards / Sofia Ulver ---

Hi Sofia, Glad you like it 🙂 Of course you can use the image. It would be cool if you can share the video of the talk though. ---

How’d you make the direction of the fish follow the velocity? ---

Cant really remember as it was a long time ago, but I did it with boids I think ---

Thank you so much! Do you want me to use ”Crazy Minion” or another name on the image (photo: Crazy Minion)? Do you have an email I can use to send the link to the talk? Kind regards Sofia ---

I guess you could use Patrick Barton. You can send the link to [patrick\_barton@me.com](mailto:patrick_barton@me.com) ---

Also feel free to post the link here if it’s public (I’m assuming it is, since it’s a TEDx talk). It’s always great to see some Blender art ‘in the wild’ 🙂
