hee hee The ODF Dandies product is made using a different script that does much the same thing. When I made the set, I wanted to provide users with a lower resolution dandelion than Transpond's -- my problem was that I needed about 100 dandelions, and after 5 of TPs, my system was crapping out. Since I also didn't want to sit there and click on the flower 100 times to load it, I needed a solution that would allow me to load a whole bunch of them, yet still be able to move them about both individually and as groups. The ODF dandies can do that. One click lets you load 25 plants. It's really cool, and they don't kill your scene. This tool speeds up the process of creating things like that as well as providing the basic underpinings for a standard particle system. ODF Maejyrie (which is being developed from the old BE Creatives magic pak and is expanding dramatically on it) will really show off what this sort of thng can do. I've used both swarm and the original for it.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
