Ghosts of Tsushima style leaves

I’ve got an outdoor scene that takes place in the fall. I would like to have an effect like Ghosts of Tsushima or Black Myth: Wukong. Specifically, I would like to make the effect where either a character can effect the leaves on the ground and make them swirl about, or I that have the wind pick them up off of the ground and whirl them around. I can’t seem to find any videos around about this effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there @MADMOVIESINC! So in many cases users tend to make Niagara particles (the leaves) follow a spline, which requires a bit of effort and for your use case will be a bit more work.

This thread contains a tutorial and a correction to the tutorial that should point you in the right direction:
