particles blown away from impact? so I have an object that I have animated to fall onto a plane, and I want to have dust-like particles that are blown away from the impact like in a way that dust is. I don't know how I would achieve this effect, any help?
Consider adding Collision objects and applying a force in the Physics tab.

Particles are affected/moved by a force.



In the image above the blue cone has Wind Force attached in the Physics tab.
Particles are being moved to the right.
Experiment with the forces as suits you.


Cyan Plane is collision object in the Physics in the image above.
