Deflector Object
What is it about?
This page covers the Deflector object in Cinema 4D's legacy particle system. Particles bounce off its plane with adjustable elasticity — the quick way to build floors, walls or billiard-table borders for particle streams.
Particles are reflected by Deflectors.
You can bounce particles off a Deflector. An animated billiard table can be quickly created with four Deflectors. Only one particle, the sphere, is to be generated in the emitter. It never leaves the ground and bounces well off all the boards.
Example
Here, a particle stream is deflected by 90° to the camera using a Deflector:
