Hey there,

I'm currently experimenting with some particles and was wondering how I can use the Point SOP's forces to affect my particles.

Questions in particular:
*can I use the point SOP's normal force to keep particles from colliding with my models so that they once they get near flow around them?
*can I restrict forces to act only in a certain volume? (e.g. that a sphere has this normal force, but particles get only affected if they get in a certain distance to the sphere)

Thx in advance for your help

Yeah you can! One way i know is to use the Attractor POP, giving it negative force value in Point SOP.

eitht.

Wohooo that has been quick! Awesome!

Your example is very cool! That helps alot! Thx!
