Hi Chris,

I prefer using an eddy force, it gives a bit more control then a vortex,
then you need to apply an obstacle to keep them in the volume that you want!


Cheers

Hi All,
I have some particles being emmited straight up (no spread) from a disk, 
and I want them to look like they're gently swirling around the y axis.
If I apply a vortex, they appear to be effected by centifugal force. ie. 
they spin outwards, but I want them to stay within the radius of the 
emmiter disk.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
