Hey guys,

I am happy to announce the release of the new emFlock2 (version 2.0) as well as the release of emFluid4 (version 4.0).

Some Features of emFlock2:

• Multithreaded neighboring and flocking.
• Set of compounds for speed and orientation control without flipping.
• Set of compounds to make flocks fly along specific paths and morph into specific shapes.
• Complex generation of flight paths using nearly any desired input in any desired combination (point clouds, polygon meshes, curves, etc.).
• New neighboring compound.
• Point clouds that use emFlock2 and emFly are still just "ordinary" point clouds => they can be cached and rendered just as any other point cloud.

emFluid4 "Fire & Smoke Walk With Me"

Take care
