Hi all, I have posted about this before and I'm still alittle frustrated because i can't seem to figure out how to make particles behave. I know there is no particle collision with objects (the manual still has the misprint), only the floor, but there has to be a way to "fake it" with physics and some of the forces (ie. set up a heavy duty anti-directional force on the surface of an object so when the particles are aimed at that object and move towards it, they will appear to bounce off and not go through). I have read the manual and played around alot. From what I can tell particle emmitters are one of the things that physics can't effect. The funny thing is that on the Eovia site, they show this picture in the product tour section(http://www.eovia.com/carrara/product_tour/prod_tour_animation.jsp) double click on the Particle screen shot...it certainly seems like physics does effect particles. Any help would be greatly appreciated
