Hi all

Basically i want to produce a pflow where when the particules hit a delflector they animate/morph into a different shape.
The shape is an instance of a box so as it hits the deflector i want it to crush/crunch alittle as if its crashed into the floor. I'm working on simulating in reactor the hero boxes but i want to create a large amount of them in the BG using pflow.

If anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated

Thanks
Edd

You could try a combinaion of Vol.Select and Push using instanced shapes in PFlow for the Vol.Select

Cheers man great idea much appreciated i'll give it a go later today see how it goes.
The boxes themselves are ment to be huge containers so rather than push i need to make the crumple like a car crashing. Any ideas?

Thanks
Edd

Another Vol.Select using a Map for selectin and a negative push amount.
