# PWind

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **PWind node** of Thinking Particles in **Cinema 4D**. Unlike PGravity it creates a turbulent, non-uniform force field — the natural choice for swirling smoke, drifting leaves or gusty motion.

Unlike PGravity, this node can create a non-uniform, turbulent force field ideal for swirling smoke and so on.

Wind affects particles of different masses in different ways, allowing smoke-like turbulence effects. Here we've set things up so that the mass of a particle depends on its distance away from the origin. Just a bit of fun to see how the PWind node works!
