Render an Abstract Head Using Render Curves Lee Griggs' Tutorial

[TheCrazyLost]

Hey Everyone,

I'm following Lee Griggs' Tutorial "Render an Abstract Head Using Render Curves". I got it too work, the only thing is that i can't get the curves to behave the way i want...If you look at any example lee put in his tutorialcurve-head-600.jpg
he is able to use the modifier to make the curves have an "exploding" effect from the head, or they anyway behave in a predictable manner...I can't make my curves behave like it, the only thing I'm able to do is for them to be attracted at the centre of the modifierrender.png, can anyone tell me exactly what attributes I should change? I try to change every single one of them...
Thank you in advance!

Did you use the Paint Effects Modifier?

I did i generated the modifier through generate>create modifier

Can it be because of the scale of the mesh?
