#C4DQuickTip

In this Quick Tip, Jonas Pilz (@jonaspilz3d) shows how to create a killbox for Pyro in Cinema 4D to reduce the count of calculated voxels and therefore increase performance. This is helpful when the framing of a scene doesn't show the full simulation.

Thanks guys! We need settings for this though, as this is not the optimal way + it keeps vram calculations still. In order to get really good sims, we need the most amount of voxels possible in the smallest space possible.

Maxon should make a Killbox tag. similar to Pyro Fuel

[@polystormstudio]

Agreed, that's a lot of unnecessary steps, but I suppose it's because Pyro is so new. I'm sure the team is probably already working on it.

[@MotionPunk]

100%

[@nitromusik9275]

Yea a checkbox directly under the Surface Emitter checkbox that sets the basic kill parameters and switches the tag icon (like rigid- collider- and ghost body tag) would be a smooth way to do it.

You are my hero! Thank-you.

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

This is a great workaround, but we need a dedicated Kill Volume. Hopefully, this should appear in a future update.

love you

I think in the next release would be more tags for pyro 🤔

[@simontrickfilmer]

I don't think so: what else would be the point of that Tipp?

[@render4dcafe]

@@simontrickfilmer surely there were tips for the bones tool and for the pyrocluster. Fields changed slightly from one year to the next and, at the request of the users, the actions of the dynamic place tool were recorded with cappuccino. It would have to work similar to the tag collider... although you may also be right and it will stay that way 😅

[@tenniset]

So it's like making a black hole.

[@ViktorAdriaansens]

Now you can use the destructor object as a killbox! works better than this method.
