I put a rather silly little movie on YouTube, see
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJdgYgvpxeA
An evil toaster speeds along a spline curve with several butterfly police in hot
pursuit, in a typical urban environment. Typical, that is, of some outlandish
alien culture or another.

Neat. Even neater would be seeing the butterflies moving in typical butterfly
fashion (jerky, crazy, chaotic, yet somehow ending up going the direction they
originally intended). Of course, it's easy for me to say things like that
since I wouldn't be the one that has to come up with the butterfly-motion
algorithm ;)

True. The butterlies are sort of frozen. This is one of a number of animations I
have made with butterflies following spline curves. I use Chris Colefax's really
great spline macro, which has auto-banking, so at least the butterflies bank
around curves.
I see elsewhere in the forums someone has a 3D model of a butterfly. It ought to
be one of the easier animals to model reasonably well. But to achieve the
chaotic motion you describe would be a bit of a challenge. Heck, even to
achieve orderly and sensible motion would be tough.

Well, not bad the idea. But you need to synchronize the sound with the
video. When you pass by one of these net structures, then you should hear
some louder sound, similar like a car passes by a house. The wind becomes
louder. You get the idea.
Go ahead. Funny idea!
