Adding obstacles to particle flow


You can place obstacles in the flow of particles to divert them. By hiding and animating the obstacles, you can make the particle motion seem less predictable.

To add obstacles to particles:
  1. Create an object and place it in the path of the particles.
  2. Ctrl-select the obstacle and the particles, then choose
    Animation > Link Particle Obstacle or press Ctlr+L.
  3. The particles bounce off the obstacle.

Tip: You can also select the particles by marquee-selecting one or more of the particles in a viewport.
