Hi,
I'd like to make particles (from the same emitter) collide between them.
I can't find a way to do it in Maya and I'm not sure it is possible.
Any idea ?

Make each particle the source of a radial field. You will have to play around with the radius of the field a bit to get it to the size of your particles, but it does work.

ok I'll work on it, it seems a good idea.
Actually the radial field will work as a repulsion force between the particles, am I right ?

Thanks again ! Bye.

im trying to do that now and cant seem to instance the radial field to the particles.. there is any other way to asign fields to particles? individualy?

I have written a tutorial on this exact procedure, it's on Highend3D but here's a direct link:
