Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out a way to use TFD to Advect only certain XP Emitters in a scene, very similar to X-Particles Groups where I can tell Explosia to affect certain groups. However, without great knowledge of Xpresso, the task isn't easy. So, today I came up with a workflow, and I invite anyone to comment, and/or knows a way to tell Turbulence FD to Advect certain particles groups in the container, and not every particle group. I don't know Xpresso that well that I came up with this workflow below: First, before Caching the Turbulence FD Simulation, go to **Simulation > Velocity**, and Set **“Particle Velocity Scale”** to 100%…

I have a dynamic mesh that is being deformed by turbulence. I've set up the mesh to emit particles with Emission set to shot and Speed to 0, so the particles sit on the surface. I simply need those particles to stick to the surface as the mesh deforms. Is this even possible in X-Particles? EDIT: I just tried using the xpFollowSurface modifer with friction turned all the way up and it ALMOST works. Unfortunately the particles tend to shift around from frame to frame. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Hey peeps, So Im looking to make a fairly simple XP system with an emitter shooting particles in a straight line and a Trails generator 'sweeping' the emitted particles. Thats the easy bit. The problem Im having is that I'd like an object to pass through the trails making them move out of it's way. The XP collider tag works with the particles but not the trails. The object moves straight through the trails, which I understand but I'd like them to react to the object the way the particles do. Is this doable? Surely a simple thing Im not thinking about right? Many thanks knowledgable ones! D- Im on XP 4.…

Hey guys, Really new to x-particles:) I've setup a basic scene with an emitter that i've generated geometry with an xptrail object and xpsplinemesher. I've also got an attractor object in there to pull the splines together. I just can't seem to get the dynamics to work....aka i'm not actually sure which tags etc to use. I've had a good play round for quite a while with different objects but without sucess:( I've attached the scene, but i'm guessing its a pretty straight forward fix i just not getting the right combination of tags and settings etc. Even a link to a tutorial:) Thanks in advance I'm at home for 3 weeks now so you might …

Hello, During past few hours I've been trying to force the ExplosiaFX's smoke to inherit colour of particles which are acting as fuel carriers inside the simulation "domain" - with no result 😞 Now I'm about to give up because the only hint that I've found online (on Insydium YT channel) is how to make xParticles inherit the colour of smoke simulation (using advection) which is obviously the opposite action. I assume that solution for my problem is hidden somewhere in Cycles 4D materials rather than in the simulation settings itself... but I may be wrong. If anyone could help, I would be very grateful 🙂

hi all. has anyone managed to get XP cloth to loop? like a flag flapping in the wind. it doesn't respond to the usual cache/pose morph route. was wondering if there is some other way to do this?

It's a simple sphere with shatter and dynamics on the pieces. I want the pieces to be able to collide with each other instead of going through each other as it is now. It's probably something simple, but I can't find the right box to tick. xp no self collision.c4d Here is the video where it's shown off. I have the latest version of xp so I should be able to do it.

So I've been learning X-Particles for a few months. Work Machine has the most up to date Mojave. Home machine has most up to date High Sierra with newest Nvidia drivers and CUDA drivers for that OS. If I throw too much at my 5k 27" 2015 iMac at work, the simulation grinds to a halt. Usually for several minutes. A basic simulation of Fluid FX Water Body from the Quick Tools and an xpTurbulence modifier strength pumped up to 15 can lock it up. So that makes it harder to adjust when it's constantly freezing. I also have a 2012 MacPro5,1 at home that I replaced with two 3.4 Ghz X5690 Xeon's (12-Core Total), GTX 1080 (8GB), 32Gb RAM, 1Tb S…

a great job done by Tendril, very inspiring! how would i go about creating this initial burst of particles that expands out and keeps the shape of the diamond at 00:01 to 00:03, it seems like an easy task but im having problems keeping my simulation fluid like theirs, any help would be much appreciated. i have attacthed the actual references for the frames im fairly new to cinema 4d and very new to xparticles it would be great if anyone could share an approach on creating a simulation like this!
