    I am using the particle engine in Element 3D, using a noise evolution to do some basic animation. A problem that I am encountering, is the Spheres (particles) cross each other, and it doesn’t look right. Basically they look cut in half. Is there a function to make them bounce off each other instead of crossing into each other?

    No, Element 3D has no physics/dynamics simulation.

    You can do a 2D physics fake [link] with Newton and Element 3D.
