i want to have a crowd of people swarming over a hill... So Ive got my plane with noise on it and my group of people in my particle system. i don't just want to do poistion object so they are no the hill but i want to create the crowd at frame zero then be able to move them about the hill so they glide over its contours smoothly, i could do this using the forest pack pro plugin by simply attaching the crowd to the surface then moving the shape that they are confined to around the surface (if you know what i mean!) but i want more control using particle flow...
help most welcome

Use lock/Bond or Speed by Surface. Then a wind space warp to move them in the direction you want.
