OK, so I'm trying to replicate some of the functionality of X-Particles in C4D and I found this: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.5/particles/react [sidefx.com]

Which talks about the Creep on the Drive Particles shelf.

However, I can't find it anywhere.

I found a Drive Simulation shelf, but no ‘Creep’ in there.

I'm trying to replicate shooting particles from an emitter at an object and having those particles flow ‘over’ the object.

This is what I'm after: https://vimeo.com/101104677 [vimeo.com]

Thanks,

Jim

There are quite a few examples on OdForce demonstrating this technique. Here are a few HIP file I found by searching for “particle creep”.

Not sure if I'm duplicating what Enivob posted but Matt has a nice technique here: http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=HoudiniDops#Pop_stick_to_surface [tokeru.com]

The only thing to look for is the inputs on the pop wrangle, easy to miss.

Being a technical ninja I can't work out how to attach a file to this post so here's a dropbox one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ukc2jc1l4blngl1/Tree.hiplc?dl=0 [dropbox.com]

Great thanks, I'll look into those.
It appears that shelf tool is no longer available and SideFX is going to remove it from their documentation.
