Particles force path

Good morning all,

In lightwave, there is an option for wind called Wind Animation Path and I wonder how I could get this effet in Blender.

I tried Force Curve Path, Keyed particles but I couldn’t get this exact behavior yet. The idea in the get the particles go through a tunnel that has variable width like below: Any hint?

Actually I can get a “like” behavior with Keyed particles but it look more like two cones back to back.


I would rather have a smooth “organic like” curve transition path between the targets.

Of course I could add more keyed targets with different size in between but I would rather avoid this if possible.

Thanks for any hint

Curve Guide might do the job.

You could get that effect by using a lattice. See this thread https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?405060-Can-Turbulence-influence-particles-w-a-Curve-Guide&highlight=AlanK

:yes:

Thanks a lot!!. I think that will help to achieve what I want.

Wow. I never thougt of using Lattice as well! I’ll try it. Thanks!
