Top Tip Tuesday - Particle Data in Redshift

In Top Tip Tuesday this week, we explore how we can access particle data inside Redshift to create complex rendering effects. We use the Scalar User Data node in Redshift to access the particle radius information and this is then used to color particles based on their size. Finally, we take the same radius information and use it to create some glowing particles, which contribute to the scene lighting.

[@Zeigerful]

Thanks again for switching to Redshift for these videos. Much more helpful now!

[@BarnumLab]

Super cool to elaborate about redshift and Xparticles!

[@OPS-q4h]

Excellent! More Redshift/XP tutorials please!

[@Chris-tp4sn]

It's always a good morning when Bob pops back up in my feed

[@JWMD_]

Love the TTT with bob! 😎🎉

[@Druskqq]

Thanks for finally working along with software / renderers that are actually being used in production. Now it would be nice if we could bake particle information to alembic just as you can with Embergen and Houdini so we can easily port data between different software.

[@bogscave]

So useful, thank you, Bob! 🤍

[@pixelatedbeatz]

Thanks Bob!!! very helpful and once again, it's great to see you working with RS

[@EQUILOUD]

Thanks for using Redshift. Cycles is ok also, but nobody is using it...

[@NeM3Si881]

So useful. Finally redshift+ xparticles

[@ed61730]

Just what I was doing for! Thanks so much :)

[@JocelynBordat]

Great tutorial! Would it be possible to have a tutorial for octane users? 😅

[@mcfly531]

Love the sound of Bob on a Tuesday morning!

[@thelightsarebroken]

Love xp Tuesdays

[@user-lg8qm1yg7l]

厉害呀，这个技巧很实用，谢谢大佬分享

[@helalsstudio1843]

Excellent as always !

[@TheArtOfThom]

Fantastic!

[@ansoncall6497]

Yeah, these Redshift/Xparticles videos are super helpful. Thanks!

[@user-ce2jz4nr5d]

More Redshift with Xparticles videos please

[@antonio.carreira]

+1 for Octane. ;)

[@xpez9694]

love it!

[@nitromusik9275]

Amazing as always!

[@Chewbacca2000]

Thanks man!!

[@user-nn9bz8rt1b]

In this video I saw Particles not colliding with each other but not using xp contraint (collisions), how did the team do it? Thanks team.❤

[@INSYDIUMLTD]

The nxPush modifier, with the distance mode set to 'Radius', is what's keeping the particles apart in this scene.

[@user-nn9bz8rt1b]

@@INSYDIUMLTD it’s amazing, i got it thanks Insydium Team ❤️

[@theDman911]

Can we get an Octane version of something like this? Some of the specifics don't really seem to translate for me and I'm still a little confused

[@jaevnstroem]

In Octane there's an "Instance Color" node which can grab X-Particles data like the display color and whatnot

[@rudybertazzo]

Noice!

[@xpez9694]

do you think the particles run faster with xparticles or the C4d new particles?

[@joestevens3071]

does this work with xparticles pre- latest update?

[@thegreatszalam]

Yes. This has been the workflow in X-Particles and Redshift for a long time.
