    what is the best method of taking a modeled polygon object and make it a deflector of particles?
    example fire wrapping around a egg with wind pushing it up as if it was re-entering atmosphere

    thank you for reading and for any input

    perhaps you are thinking of something more than I am reading into your description but it sounds like you might want to make the egg be a particle emitter rather than a deflector.

    Thank brian i actually figured it out. you can make an object a deflector object with thinking particles you make that a pdeflector set to object and the particles appear to bounce off the geometry.
    anyone interested with thinking particles there is a great 11 part tutorial that is very good at showing the basics of thinking particals on u tube called thinking particles introduction @ https://www.youtube.com/user/NateMac00

    Also found a bunch of tutorials at https://www.vfxcast.com
    found both very helpfull
