just had a play with pflow, but need to prevent my shapes instance (balls) intersecting with each other, any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

Not easy, because particles don’t have a volume as such, even if they are represented as geometry instances. The best thing to try would be the Keep Apart operator.

As far as Pflow is concerned (without additional plugins) a particle is defined by a single point, like an isolated vertex.
