Craig W. Reynolds, born on 15 March 1953, is an artificial life and computer graphics expert best known for creating the Boids artificial life simulation in 1986, one of the first models of flocking behaviour. He worked on the film Tron (1982) as a scene programmer and on Batman Returns (1992) as part of the video image crew. In 1998 he won an Academy Scientific and Technical Award in recognition of his pioneering contributions to the development of three-dimensional computer animation for motion picture production, and in 2023 the International Society for Artificial Life gave him its lifetime achievement award at the ALIFE conference. He is also the author of the OpenSteer library.
