The Attractor is a radially symmetrical gravitational force. With this modier you can capture particles
in a similar way that the sun captures individual planets. You can also create water whirls with this
function. Outside of the range of the Attractor, the particles will move in a linear fashion.
Particles inside the attractor’s bounding box are inuenced by the attractor’s strength. The size of the
bounding box does not inuence the strength.

Object Properties
Strength
Denes the strength of attraction or, if you enter negative values, the strength of repulsion.
Speed Limit
To prevent the particles from travelling too quickly in a scene when using large values, dene a speed
limit with this parameter.
Deector
Balls colliding with the edges of a billiard table
can easily be simulated using the Deector
modier.
