How to recreate this scene (interactable flower/sea creature)?

[canxerian]

Hi,

I’d really like to create this scene (preferably in Unity): New Nature by Marpi - YouTube

It looks as though it might be some sort of particle effect, though I’m not really sure!

Any ideas on how to achieve this effect?

Thanks!

Hi canxerian,

the principle would be to influence the normal direction of the particles. Here a sketch and a prototype. In my example, the normals are changing by distance to the collider object. In your video it seems like the the normals get the direction of the motion and direction from the collider. I hope this help and it gives you a idea.
