Directing Chaos: Using Fields and Collision Events in Forge Dynamics

I’m really excited to share this deep dive into mini Forge Dynamics project. We will combine behavior animation and fields. In this tutorial, we’ll move beyond basic simulations to show you how to truly direct the motion, transitioning from simple movements to a lively, dynamic setup where elements bounce and interact with realistic energy. We start from absolute scratch, covering everything from initial design and rigging arms with math-based behaviors to optimizing your simulation for maximum efficiency. Whether you're struggling with collision events or want to learn how to parent direction fields to animated layers for precise control, this guide provides the professional workflow you need to elevate your motion design projects. 🛸 Extra details on my blog: https://www.kamilk.co.uk/2026/04/beha... 🚀 Project Files Available Here: https://kmotiontutorials.gumroad.com/... 💻 Tools I use: Recursive Subdivision Generator https://kmotiontutorials.gumroad.com/...
