Damn, I can't see this as I can't do 1024x768. :/

However, glad to see someone else uses my 'show normals' lib - I was beginning to think I was the only one. :P

hehe, well the source is in there. Just change it to what you can do :)

And thanks for the Normals Code. :)

God, I really am a plum, sometimes. :) I'll go have a play now.

No problem. Just glad someone else finds it useful. Personally, I find almost essential when doing dynamic mesh manipulation, etc. Then again, I'm biased. :P

[edit]Hey, that's really good. Very lifelike. I even started feeling a bit itchy while watching. :P

Oh, I forgot to mention. If you look at the top variables. If you change:

AllowNaming = 1

Then when the program is run it will ask you to name an ant and then you can follow it (with its status) on the screen. But its off as defualt as I found it distracted from the collective group.

Ah cool. I was going to ask if it's possible to follow a single ant. I tried following one by sight but I kinda lost sight of it in the crowd. :)
