Blender Boids Demo.

I have been experimenting(playing) with Blender's boid particles. Boids are particles that have a low level intelligence or rule following behavior. The best known example is the armies in Lord of the Rings movie were boids. A soldier model could be given a rule such as charge the castle or a flock of birds could fly through a scene. It is a powerful feature but is not well documented or used. So of course I had the urge to explore it. No keyframes were used to create animations, they are completely boid particle effects.

Some of the uses that I want to explore are creating realistic looking traffic that reacts to the environment, creating realistic pedestrians, and using RGB textures to control boid movement.
