#NVJOB Simple Boids is a simulation of the behavior of flocks of birds and fish.
This technology is not real Boids, it's pseudo Boids (not mathematical model), but the basic Boids rules (separation, alignment, cohesion) are followed.

#NVJOB Simple Boids allows you to create many flocks and many objects in flocks, and it is all controlled by one script. I got good performance by calculating all the flocks in one script, but nevertheless, if you plan to use tens of thousands of birds, this will certainly affect the performance decrease.

Animation of birds, fish and butterflies implemented using shaders. The asset includes two shaders, one for birds and butterflies, the second for fish.

Control:
Mouse - rotation of the camera.
Mouse wheel - zoom in and out.
Left mouse button - slow motion.
W - camera to the top.
S - camera to the bottom.
T - one screenshot.
Y - auto repeat screenshot.
U - +1 second (auto repeat screenshot).
J - -1 second (auto repeat screenshot).
