To simulate the interior of a vacuum, we realize that physics was actually not as efficient, and didn't give us the control that we wanted to make it tastefully look like a whole bunch of particles were bouncing inside the tube of a vacuum cleaner. So I discovered that particles along a curve is actually really handy. Let me show you. Let's go ahead and delete everything here. A twice, X + Delete, and let's just make some stuff. Cube, a UV sphere, go ahead and make a cylinder, and a cone, and why not even a torus. There we go. Let's hit A twice, Control + G, and we'll call it Mess Group. Now let's go to layer two, you can do that just by clicking here. Shift + C to center the scene. And let's go ahead and hit Shift + A, go down to Force Field, and create a curve guide. Now you're going to see this here, and you can hit R + Z to rotate it, make it face where…
