Particles: Influencing particles with forces

“

- [Instructor] We'll start modifying the particle's behavior by adding forces. Forces blow or move the particles around and cause them to shimmy, swirl and dance under your control. To speed things along, I prepared a nuke script so let's go up to File, Open, Project Media, Lesson 6 Media Script number three, forces. Open that. I've got a particle emitter all set up so all we have to do is a cursor in the viewer and type F to wake it up and we will pull back a little bit, how about a little more screen space so we can see our particles better. That'd be good. Okay, and then we'll play. So we have a nice little stream of particles emanating from origin, moving vertically in Y with just a little bit of spread out and not too great of velocity. That'll make it easier for us to see the action. Let's see about the particle directional force. I'll hook it up to this node, double click. Now the particle direction force does exactly what you would think, it applies a force to the particles in…
