Hi guys,

How to create maya radial-like force in houdini(RBD), when force acting only in certain volume and from the center sphere to the edge.

Thanks

You can accomplish this using a Magnet Force DOP, and attaching a Metaball.

In the attached file I've read in a Metaball object using a Sop Geometry DOP and attached it to the Magnet Force. To get an outwards force I've set a negative force scale.

Hey Do I get residuals everytime someone views that?
