Iam trying to get the magnet tool to work with voxel fluids.
I have the fluid going up in my container. Then I want them to form a shape of a letter. For this Im trying to use the magnet tool.
But i'm unsure of how to set the tool up.
Maybe there is a better way.
It will not get the required look to trun the letter in to smoke and then play it backwards.
Thankfull for any help or ideas.

I think magnets require metaballs as input, so your letter would have to be made of metaballs. I don't think it's possible to convert geometry into metaballs (the other way around is possible).

Someone plz correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks for the replay.
ok, lets say I'm about to do this with metabals then, how would i set it up? i can't figure the network connections out.

and is there an other sulotion? maybe doing it with particles and atractors? would that work?

thanks

I think what you're looking for is a node that makes all the vectors in a vector field point towards a SOP object. I don't know how to do that though, it would interest me as well.
