Now that you have an understanding of the fundamental concepts, terms, and principles of particle systems, let’s take a look at some of the advanced physical system tools that come with Fusion to take your particle system simulations to the next level.

We will look at how to apply forces such as friction and turbulence with particle physics algorithms in combination with Fusion modifiers and image and transform processing algorithms.

Particle Physics: Natural Force Algorithm

There are a number of algorithms in Fusion’s 3D (and 2D) particle system that apply forces calculated ...
