Making a Vector Field Space Warp

To make delegates fly around an object without passing through it, you combine the Space Warp Behavior with the Vector Field Space Warp. The Vector Field Space Warp sets up a field of vectors (lines or arrows) in the directions of a selected object’s face normals. When the Vector Field Space Warp is used to define a Space Warp behavior, the delegates will tend to move in a direction perpendicular to the nearest flow line.

Quicklist: Creating a Vector Field Go to the Create panel, click Space Warps, select Particles & Dynamics from the drop-down list, click Vector Field, and click and drag in a viewport so the lattice surrounds the object. Set Length Segs, Width Segs, and Height Segs to values between 10 and 20. ...
