INSYDIUM Training - xpFlowField Spline Control

[@JustinMarimon]

Really helpful tutorial. This one tends towards basic, but Walmsley slows down and explains some fundamentals that are helpful for beginners but still solid reminders for more advanced users.

[@RadGnarRad]

This is a super helpful tut. I've been using xpFollow Spline, but that shit always leaks particles... and drives the user up the wall. this works 100%

[@darkarps]

something I struggle with a lot is something that should be so simple-growing particles scale (or is it radius?) over time using the xpScale modifier. Can someone help me understand what the difference between particle scale and particle radius is? When/why would you use one or the other? When I'm playing around with a scene and I try using xpScale I can never remember if I should be modifying particle scale or radius and so inevitably my data mapping never works properly

SSAO isn't working for my X-Particles for some reason. When I enable SSAO, it works just fine for all other objects in my scene but not for my particles. I have my particle settings exactly like this video yet my SSAO shading doesn't show. Does anyone have a solution for missing SSAO shading on particles?

[@antonskvortsov8742]

the same problem

[@kickheavy8982]

@@antonskvortsov8742 Yeah it seems to be a bug. I even asked the X-Particles community on Discord and they said it's not working for them either. So it's not just us haha.

[@mexihkano]

same here but you can use spheres display though it will run slower

I don't know what Bobs voice sounds like at 1x speed

[@randmcnally.]

sensuous!

[@josha10cio]

I get distracted when he smacks his lips and swallows really loud when he talks. Very disturbing to me, like nails on a chalkboard.Nice tut tho!

[@rgx0015]

for some reason the fire value doesn't work for me? im using r25

[@ridgi8605]

Bob, very generous in sharing your knowledge in these times of confinement. I have a little question. I'm using X-Particles Build 824 Beta Access and so I know it's not the final version. The "Other Objects" folder has been replaced by "Utilities". In the list of objects available for this folder there is no longer "xpCache", you have to look for it in the X-Particles menu. Is there any particular reason for doing this? I would just like to know the logic of this choice. Thank you to the whole team.

[@INSYDIUMLTD]

Hi, please head over to this forum to discuss the Beta Access - Thanks community.insydium.online/

[@leonsenf4448]

I was wondering the same thing. There are definitely quite a few other parts moving around too. Always a bit of teething but also tricky when looking at tutorials and things are displayed differently and also different icons.

[@graphic-nations]

I wish there is tutorial for how control spawning particles from fracture and collisions

[@bobbihansel]

Great tutorial. How could I add a little turbulence to add some variance to the particle motion without them deviating from the spline shape or the sphere surface?

[@JasonPoley]

create a duplicate flowfield, set it to turbulence instead of spline and drop the strength down until you're happy.

[@PapaG-0101]

Is it possible to have your flow field with trails display collide with an object?

[@Hellopandaa]

Hi there just curious, with all the people that pay maintenance and have bought xparticles, do they not get anything extra since these are all being released as free now?

[@therealkevinleee]

theres more in the maintenance and hes a little more indepth. you also get access to more project files

[@julyperez8343]

Particles accelerated in tandem and motions

[@machblau6148]

Only with gpu it makes fun working with xparticles. After the promissed gpu Option and the update i switch to houdini.

[@SergeBelkin]

The limit I think is a C4D itself, a viewport that does not utilize GPUs at max.

[@SergeBelkin]

But Houdini doesnt use GPU for everything either.

[@machblau6148]

But they would try it with googles volcan. If its Not possible why they tell us about the option? houdini has a great open cl Node you Can implement. Please excuse my Poor english;) Hope you know what i mean

[@JasonPoley]

@@machblau6148 they have spoken about their Vulcan development being a 2021 update, I think.

[@machblau6148]

Jason Poley Excuse me. I was so excited and I probably missed it. then i will come back in a year. Thanks a lot
