How to Flow Particles Along Curve in Blender For Beginners

In this article we are going to see how to flow particles along a curve in blender.

• I just want to understand the concept.So i just shared the basics.With this basics we can do lot of things for video intros with our creativity.
• Here, to demonstrate i took cube object and Path.
• You can find the Path at Create tab .

• Be sure all the x,y and z axis are in same direction for cube object, path and the entire scene.Because then only the particles will flow in the same direction.It’s not compulsory but it’s smart way.

• It’s your wish to scale the path or not. For big curve we need to scale the path.To scale , press “s” key in your keyboard.
• Now goto edit mode.Be sure you have selected path.

• Now in the Path you can see some orange dots which we can drag them & we can make some bends.
• Created bend with help of points/orange dots by dragging them along z-axis for this demonstration.

• And Now return to object mode.
• Now select cube object and goto Particles and add New.

• We are not yet finished because the particles will flow downward at this time.We need to set some things to flow particles along curve.
• Important part:Select cube object and path at the same time. To do this Press (Shift+Right click mouse) same time.

• Now goto Physics tab.Click force field.

• Now in Type click and chppse Curve guide feom the drop down menu.

• Now run animation .And finally you have successfully flowed particles along the curve.
