Hello,
First of all,
1) No, wind force doesn’t (necessary) apply to the whole scene. Thats what fields are for.
Using fans to achieve this can be tricky to fine tune it. Here is a super fast way for me to replicate something like what you asked. You can fine tune it to much your liking. In the video you see the result and in the image you see how the scene looks from the top.

Hello Bart,
A very fast way to get away with the missing plugins is to create a new scene and copy and paste the models. Cameras and lighting that was created with Octane don’t copy them. As for the materials you can delete them and remake them from scratch.

Hi Kouraib,
Even if the split beam is disabled, cubes are going thru the deflector.
-
These are the 2 ways to do it.

Hello Mauricio,
When you move the deflectors, there is a a frame where the moving deflector gets past the cube and so the cube can not be deflected any more.
The easy way to counter it is to put a destructor behind the deflector, so the cubes that gets past the deflector gets destroyed.
Another way to achieve the same result is to replace the deflector with a plane or a very thin cube and put a collider body tag on it. On the cubes put a rigid body tag and increase the bounce to 100% on both tags. You can increase the substeps and iterations to fine tune your result. This method should work fine, but the cubes will also interact with each other and it’s also needs more resources from your computer.

If you want to create liquids, you have 3 options.
1) Use metaball (worst method)
2) Use Volume Mesher-Builder. Here are some videos that might help you.

3) Use external plugins like X-Particles

Hello Michael,
There you are. I hope this is what you wanted.

It’s not visible on your video, cause it is cropped. Next to enable move, do you have enabled only the y axis?

Hello,
A rough procedure to create something like this is:
1) You need to have first the sand model (like a very small cube or whatever you like). Avoid something with a lot of polygons.
2) Create 4 emiters from 4 sides to emit the sand model in the center. This is to simulate the sand coming from all directions. Make the emiters big enough to your liking and set a very high number in birthrate renderer. Also make sure to adjust the particle parameters of the emiter according to your scene.
3) Then you can add dynamics in your scene to make it more like. The most appropriate ones I think are the the turbulence, attraction and rotation.
You will need to fine tune it to match your desired result, by changing the speed or adding also some wind in the scene. Playing then the scene might be hard considering how many particles you have and what kind of computer you have. Keep in minf that there might by plugins that will do this better and easier.

If you have an earlier version of Cinema 4D and doesn’t have this, you can use the transfer tool.
1) Again create something and place it at 0 height.
2) Select all objects you want to move
3) Go to tools -> Transfer
4) Place the object that it is in 0 height in the “Transfer To” section
5) Deselect all options and leave only the “Enable Move” + “Y” enabled
6) Press apply and it is done. You can watch my video also for this method.
