Forces tab

Object

A link field for an ExplosiaFX Wind object (see below). You can drag an existing ExplosiaFX Wind object into this field, or click the 'Add Wind Object' button to create a new one.

Add Wind Object

Click this button to create an ExplosiaFX Wind object.

ExplosiaFX wind does not require a Wind object - simply enabling wind is enough, but it will always blow along the positive Z axis. If you add a Wind object you can control the wind direction by rotating the Wind object.

Explosia FX Wind object

This object looks identical to an X-Particles Wind modifier in the viewport:

The object has no parameters than you can alter. The main use is to rotate it so that it points in the direction you want the wind to blow.
