## Maya Force Fields

Maya Force Fields can be set to affect DMM Objects. Select "DMM Asset >> Apply Maya Force to DMM Object" menu item to have the selected fields affect the selected DMM Objects. This is a powerful technique for making explosions or adding wind etc. to a simulation.
Fluid Effects can be combined in the same way with the DMM simulation.

Currently, Maya Force Fields will affect every part of a DMM object, inside and out. This is great for things like gravity, but not great for air fields which should only affect an object surface. It is best to only use Maya air fields with very thin DMM objects.

Note: When creating a Maya Force Field, be sure to not have any DMM Object selected, otherwise Maya will turn them into Rigid Bodies. To delete accidentally created Rigid Bodies from the DMM Objects, use the "DMM Scene >> Delete Rigid Bodies in DMM Objects" menu item. Maya settings can be changed so the selection is not turned into a Rigid Body when creating a Force Field. See the "Auto create rigid body" in the "Preferences", under "Dynamics".
