wow. thats gorgeous. its got something for everyone too. particle dynamics, nature, sociology, and if none of that works for you its still great eye candy.
reminds me of when i was attacked by a ‘flock’ of bats in texas. well not attacked, they just all flew out of the trees i was walking under and scarred the hell out of me. good times though. 🙂

Wow Keith, those birds read your books!
lol Dom.
That is incredible…
Truly beautiful..
So many particles, so many fps..
Is this the power of VM2? Should be.
Thanks for this video Keith!

Just amazing.
They have a very sophisticated collision avoidance algorithm.
Thanks for sharing Keith.
Now I know what to plan my next European vacation around. Thanks!
Simlar footage is also used in a Carling advert in Britain:

Someone should stick some accelerometers on one of the birds to study the forces they must go through in avoiding each other…
It also reminded me of one of the pieces Robert Hodgin showed at FOTB: http://www.flight404.com/blog/?p=99
Maybe the creature from LOST is merely a flock of birds … sure looks that way from afar. 🙂
