Vortex

Hey gang,

I need to make a spiraling vortex of clouds and asteroids for my camera to fly through so I thought, what better than to use a Vortex field. Only the thing is I can't come up with any settings that are any good. Everything I try, the vortex starts off spiraling nicely, but the radius quickly expands exponentially and gets huge. The docs claim you can keep that from happening by setting the conserve value to 0, but what that does is bunch all of the particles up into a ver very tight spiral like a pole and then spins them in that form.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials or can you offer me any advice here.

Thanks,
