MicroSwarmigism Short 3

Here is the next short. This one introduces the virus MicroSwarmigism.  The next one might take an extra few days, because the boid particle effect is Blender is not the easiest thing in the world to work with.  


Boids are groups of objects that mimic living flocks or swarms.  They were invented by Craig Reynolds, and they follow at least three rules-- they move toward the average center of the swarm, they try not to get too close to one another, and they try to stay in alignment with the other boids.  When you see epic battles in movies like Lord of the Rings, they are animated using boids (which, of course, have a more complicated set of rules above these simple ones).
