Hey,

Finally found a little free time to explore the new c4d particle system. I do not particularly like it but for a lot of simple things, is great.

To be fair I only fiddled with it a bit, but from the videos I watched online, I am pretty sure I did not miss much on particle's capabilities. On top of that, it's only the first version and many basic features are missing so I expect way more down the line. Lastly I would not recommend using it in production just yet.

But for more, go check the video please!


Apologies for this diversion from our ongoing series (will be back on track asap after this with a lot of interesting techniques), I just had to cause I got a lot of questions regarding the new particles in c4d.

Let me know your impressions of the new c4d particles please!
Cheers

Since advection is awful with the other dynamics solvers they should consider a dynamic advection modifier you can simply add as a child to other dynamics for similar functionality - I think these new particles have a lot of potential down the road right now the lack of simple things like vertex emission (I know the life map hack but still) and even texture emission on a low poly source - but we’re going to need more constraints operations for it to contend and be taken seriously too. The flocking is cool but being hacked as a push apart and granular solver when it isn’t.

maxon needs to nail this to be competitive with xp yes! as they are far more advanced in anything. I have faith for next versions and i am also pushing for better advection always lol noone listens though ahha
