You ever seen that commercial of smoke flowing over a car in a wind tunnel.
Well, you can do that with Blender very easy.
Basically without going into detail you create a curve path and under the Fields tab you
select CurvePath. Somehow it ties that up to the particles which I haven't really figured out how
it associates it with your particle system but it does. See I would think you select the particle generator and then the field force in the physics section would give you the option to create a Curve Path there, but no, you select the Curve Path you created and then go to physics and select CurvePath and somehow it links it up to the particle system. This is the first time I discovered something on Blender that does not make sense really. But hey, it works and that is that.
Cheers, and enjoy. I thought about uploading a sound like wind with this, but they have such good songs you can update your video with, I decided to do that. And there you go. You have followed some of my thought path for Sunday June 7, 2009 and I hope you're happy. Peace.
