Quick Notes

+1 single vertex emitter.  Very useful.
+1 Graph Editor smoothing and decimating keyframes of recording of leader object.

Boid brain starts doing its thing starting at frame 1. So you need a bit of a lead-in before you start to see stable results. Can’t have boid brain pre-calculate from frame -250 to frame 0 as you can do with the particle emission itself.
