so today, i'm still plugging away on the emitters and deflectors... trying to get the basic idea of the scene down before i start rendering. i did a little bit of work last night on the formation of boxes but they weren't emitting any pattern that i was relatively happy with.

i still need to remember how to change the color of the actual boxes. i'm thinking instead of changing it in the property tracks, i can animate a texture and apply that to the boxes. i just don't want the change in color to be overwhelming. i want it to be just subtle enough to make a significant impact.

also- blyth if you could send me those readings on chaos theory and the bird flight patterns and bait balls and all that jazz that would be really helpful!
