Hello everyone,
I’m trying to achieve a result like the image I posted—that is, to create a magnetic sand animation. I know my way around shaders, but I was wondering if you have any tutorials or recommendations to help me achieve this result.

I think you need to use geometry nodes.
However, it is uncertain whether it will be possible to achieve the desired level.
Houdini may be required.
Make a fluid sim but crank the resolution low so it voxelizes
Had a go at it and… kind of?
This is using curves and then curve to points so shaping the “magnetic field” is fairly simple but requires a lot of steps
The main issue is performance, this is as far as I dared to push it on my PC but for a realistic result you would probably need at least twice the amount of “magnetic field lines”
Fairly easy to animate though
