Control Particle Flow: Attraction/Repulsion Forces via Blender Simulation Nodes

Take control of your Blender particle systems like never before! This advanced tutorial dives deep into using Force Fields applied directly to Collections, enabling complex push/pull (attraction and repulsion) effects. Learn how to make particles dynamically move around and towards entire groups of objects, not just single sources. Perfect for intermediate to advanced Blender artists looking to create sophisticated motion graphics, VFX, or abstract animations. ?
