John Bigboote Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I know this is scientifically inaccurate, sort of a solar wind wrapping around the Earth... I am having success forcing particles around where I want them with forces. This is a technique I use sometimes on Hair, by making a force in the model(child of the head bone) and aiming it and adjusting the magnitude so it constantly blows the hair into a curl, or a style. HERE- I am using 4 different forces: Force1- is set to neg200 and 'collects' the particles, forcing them to sort of wrap around the globe. Force2- is cylindrical, and reinforces force1, the plan was to set it to 'vortex' to get the particles to begin to spiral... need to work on that.(magnitude neg7000) Force3- is spherical (+1000) and forces the particles out around the globe. I could have eliminated this force and activated 'object collisions', but I am having better luck with less 'pass thrus' this way. Force4- is just a blower... oscillating back and forth trying to get more randomness here and there. The render is taking a long time, so just :02 for now... earth.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted June 12, 2013 Admin Share Posted June 12, 2013 You are really on to something with the negative forces. Most excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah, some people say I am a real negative force... whatever THAT means... BETTER test is coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 12, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 12, 2013 I can see it a little. Shouldn't it be blowing away from the sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 I can see it a little. Shouldn't it be blowing away from the sun? NO. I am very non-scientific on this... I have 2 brothers who are scientists, and I used to joke with them on my theory that the moon was made of ice at it's core. They would laugh endlessly and explain that (we scientists) know exactly what it is made of because of it's atomic weight... blah-blah-blah. THEN- I heard that China intends to visit the Moon to see if it's core is made of ice! I am figuring that the blow-off would go the way of the Earth's orbit as a trail. HERE is todays render (still image)... I put a logo in there too. I'll let this render overnight and see what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
