WatchFlock of birds test. It really makes a difference that the birds are on different levels on the Z-axis. With a couple of different bird animations instead of just one we have the gist of doing the bird flocks down pat.

Society becomes increasingly desperate for basic necessities such as water and fossil fuels, countries started to work together, however it wasn’t too long before things began to appear hopeless.
