flock of animals

hello… i am trying to animate a flock of sheeps. i have made one sheep. i am planning to rig it and make it walk, blink with the eyes and say bææææ…

this stuff i think i will manage, but how to make this one sheep become a herd of 40 or 50? i read something about boids, but i cannot find it in blender 2.49…

have i missed something… can anyone help or give some other suggestion of how to achieve what i want.

by the way, i am a newbie… just so you know…

thanks…

Boids is one of the Physics type for Particles. I used for fish and it worked relatively well. In Blender 2.5ish it’s supposed to work better. Haven’t tested it hardly enough though.

Good Luck !

There is also a script called Blender People I think. Its suppose to be for making crowds of people but I think it can be used in this situation.

i found it under emitter. yes thanks…
