3 On the Create panel, click Path Follow, and drag in a viewport to create
the Path Follow icon (a cube with wavy lines). The display and position
of this icon don't affect the particles.
4 On the Basic Parameters rollout, click Pick Shape Object and select the
spline you created earlier.
5 Bind the Path Follow icon to the particle system.
6 Adjust the Path Follow parameters to create the particle movement you
want.
NOTE You can further animate the particle effect by animating the spline
vertices.
TIP To adjust the position of the path or particle system while maintaining
access to the Path Follow parameters, turn on Modifier Stack rollout > Pin
Stack while the Path Follow space warp is selected.
If the particles don't follow the emitter after it's moved, then change any
PathFollow parameter, and the motion will be corrected.
