So I had someone ask me about some swarming/flocking setups yesterday and decided to look through some old setups today and as they were all quite outdated I felt it was a good time to drop a fresh one. Pretty basic POP setup and then I use a for-each to create the variable wiggling based on velocity. :)

Thanks Johny, nice solution. But why for each instead of copy stamp? Is it faster to compute?

Thanks for this, nice particle motion on the fish! I've added a sine vop before the bend deformer on the fish, pop attract following some geo along a curve and a Lynx curve force which creates a nice long shoal effect can post up if you like? Maybe the wiggle could drive the sine instead of the bend deformer perhaps?
