RealFlow's force-based daemons are not exclusive to fluids, but they also affect rigid and soft bodies. Very nice effects can be achieved with rigid bodies and the “DSpline” daemon: in this short tutorial we want to make 40 chocolate buttons (also known as “M&M” or “Smarties”) follow a given path. When the objects are attracted by the daemons's forces they will organize themselves and form a tail-like arrangement.
The result of the tutorial has been rendered with RealFlow's implementation of Maxwell Render.
