Maya fields are forces that can operate on dynamic objects, including nCloth, but…also including particles, and rigid and soft bodies, as well as Maya fluids.…What we are going to do here is we are just going to make these leaves fly off…the tree as if they are kind of exploding outward.…If I press Play, you'll see that there's nothing fancy going on with those leaves…there; just nCloth objects that have basic properties.
