I apologize in advance if I'm just missing it, but where is magic strength? I've got "affect, object, approach, escape, magic mode, random within face". 5.0.1.0152 Edu version. Thanks in advance

Re: Magic Strength
You're absolutely right - the "Magic strength" parameter has gone. It's still in the manual and online help and I've got to remove it from there. Thanks for reporting this issue and sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Magic Strength
hey TSN, thanks for the info! I thought I was just missing it! Any suggestions on how to help the magic daemon conform more tightly to the underlying geometry? It seems like magic strength used to help do this. I'm still fairly novice, so maybe there is a way to use an attract, or drag or some other daemon to help the magic daemon outtsn wrote:You're absolutely right - the "Magic strength" parameter has gone.

I appreciate it
Re: Magic Strength
I'll ask why the "Magic strength" parameter has gone and if there's a chance to get it back. It's really a very helpful setting.
Unfortunately I'm not so familiar with the magic daemon, but you can, of course, use the drag force daemon in combination with magic to slow down the particles. Drag force is very effective and now works in XYZ direction, so you have much better control. Another way is the usage of the "Morph" plugin which comes with your RF5 package, though it's not available with the demo version.

for what it's worth, upping the resolution of your fluid pulls the mesh closer to your object
