[PD] pmpd/gem - real swarm behaviour?

[cyrille henry]

hello,
I'm not sure physical modeling is the best way to make this kind of 
movement.
there are specific algorythm for this. but i don't know about there 
implementation in pd.

but with physical modeling, you should try to make a more complex model.

maybee someting like :

        M
       / \
      /   \
     M-----M
    /       \
   /         \
  /           \
Fish 1      Fish2

the fish will not folow the same points, so they can be near or thay can 
split depending of the moment of the master mass.

cheers
Cyrille
