The particle system in iClone is amazing in terms of its customizeablility, but the particles do not have any kind of collision avoidance... so the particles pass thru any object they encounter....

I would love to be able to create invisible primitive objects (like a sphere or a cube) which would not appear in a render but would force nearby particles to either be deflected or attracted.

Even just simple deflection would be great.  That would enable us to create particle effects ... like water spilling down a set of stairs.... or a cooking fire rebounding around an iron cauldron's base.... or smoke moving through a doorway into a room...

Yes i agree, this would be very helpful and help to make the particle animation more real. :)

I agree. THis would be great.

It would also be very nice to have the possibility to get the particles to bounce back when reaching an object. For an example smoke reaching the celing and then fill the room.

I agree. That would be very useful.

These are great ideals, I would love to see them implemented in a future version :)

Perhaps it could be a section called 'Collision Reactivity'. The higher the level, the less speed is removed per collision. In addition, a box could be checked labeled 'Collision Avoidance' which would make the direction change upon collision.

Peter (RL), any chance some of these suggestions will be implemented in Reallusion 5? :)

Meshes as particles anyone?
