  1. me watching 1:32 video, 52 seconds in and we have only created the rigged bird model, this is not going to end well... HOLY MOLLY! he pulls it off and there is a convincing flock of birds.

    Hats off to you sir.

  2. Hi Louis,

    Thanks so much for this great tutorial. I have a strange problem: for some reason, my birds are not distributed evenly on all the points of the icosphere but are instead cluster together on the same point. Do know where I've gone wrong?
