I need to create a field of wheat, that is bending towards a central point. Any ideas. Hair Department won't cut it. MAx has a function called scatter, which would great here, as it applies a particle around an objects faces.

i'd suggest that you have a look at bhodinut's jenna plugin. or the surface painter plugin would also be cool for this. :)

Thanks for the ideas. I would however not have to buy a plugin, as this is a freebie job. It is going to have to be hard work I think. Any other thoughts....

when you have it installed there are example files check out pincher.

I am going to be working on that scene again this week. I will show you my progess. I am thinking I must just bite the bullet and do it by hand.
