Particle systems on planes of a cube

Next we looked at creating particle systems, specifically creating a particle on a plane and then creating a series of empties with force fields applied to them. These forces with different strengths on each empty to affect the flow of particles and see how this would play out. Florian the tutor, experimented with this in his architecture thesis and criss-crossed his particles paths to overlap and creating bracing system for the building. This is the same sort of theory that the reading on the Migrating coastlines: Residential Tower, Dubai discusses they used in their building. For more information, see literature summary in an earlier blog post.
Firstly I made a cube then selected object/particle/add new/ALT A.




I am noticing that it is really blurry so will try to reduce the number of particles in my experiments today and see if that reduces the glare.
