Caterpillar Oscillations in Blender

For the following video, I created a 3D Model then animated the synchronized caterpillar movements through a Python script in Blender. I usually work in Maya, so this is another step in the Blender learning process. In the script I generated sine wave oscillation data to animate the movement of the caterpillars in the first part, then added a simple random number generator for the second part. Group movements such as these can be a form of threat deterrence by insects. This is a prototype; I want to study the movements of specific species of caterpillars and try to emulate their communal responses.
