The possibility of a new Fluids System for C4D is certainly exiting news either way. At this point, it is unclear if INSYDIUM is planning to incorporate the new fluids tool into X-Particles, or create an entirely new plugin for Cinema 4D. Pipeline Ready.ĮxplosiaFX supports the OpenVDB volumetric format, making the possibility of incorporating it into a pipeline, quite possible. The extension uses dynamically revising voxel grids, along with a modern multi-grid solver, offering quality fluid effects within a reasonable compute time.

ExplosiaFX is a fluid dynamics simulation tool that was integrated into the now-defunct Autodesk Softimage. It looks like, however, we might have a new game in town when it comes to a fluid dynamics system for Cinema 4D. INSYDIUM LTD, Makers of X-Particles, announced that they have acquired ExplosiaFX, from BlackCore Technologies. Internal pressure forces the particles apart, ensuring the fluid does not compress. Changes to a position-based solver to allow full interaction with other X-Particles objects. Most notable, would be Turbulence FD from Jawset, and the new RealFlow C4D. This is the default solver and gives the same behaviour as in previous versions of X-Particles. Even if you are looking to create fluid effects, X-Particles can do that, partly due to FLIP solvers.īut what if you wanted a more fully featured voxel-grid based fund dynamics system? There are a few options for Cinema 4D users at the moment. X-Particles is robust, easy to use, and affordable. It is by far the most powerful particle toolset for C4d, that you can get on the market today.

There is no doubt that X-Particles was the savior for Cinema 4D’s internal particle systems.
