Top Tip Tuesday! - nxQuestion Change Group

In today's Top Tip, we'll start by building two particle group systems and set up scene modifiers, which will only work on a specified group.
We'll then create an action to change particles from one group to another.
Finally, we'll show you how to trigger the change group action by bringing in a field question and using an additional random maths question, to add variation.

always great to see a new little learning video. thanks

[@mohaladesign]

Awesome as always! Thanks!🤘

[@stracknl]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@JosephWraith]

Thanks guys!!

[@rudybertazzo]

What about activacting a modifier?

[@congorod]

love this breakdown. tell me, what is the main place you would go to tone down the energy of the birth of the particles off of an object's surface? i have the same settings in a simple scene but don't have the same model as yours and i imagine scene scale has something to do with it as well. My particles explode off the surface even with zero speed on emission. Perhaps the particles are too packed together for the scale of the model in the scene? what would you tweak?

[@Shorshx]

Hey!, I had the same issue. Make sure to put the emission speed all the way down to zero in the xpEmitter and also in your groups, as the speed will be driven by the gravity. Also uncheck Velocity Correction, under nxFluids/Object. You can experiment later on, increasing the particle speed of group 2 a bit. At least this worked for me :)

[@congorod]

thanks for piping in here@@Shorshx. on further exploration it seems to be directly related to the radius of the particle which is proportional to the scale of the scene and has to be tweaked if the scene scale is smaller.

[@user-vb7sb2qb3p]

​@@congorod YES! This is the correct answer, I have solved it

[@user-nt9nz4bp3i]

When will there be an independent version that does not depend on C4D, like embergen?

[@siaamak]

Great Stuff! I've noticed in one of my recent projects that x-particles doesn't like the vertex tags on alembic caches, and doesn't recognise them. Does anyone know a workaround for that please? Thanks!

[@kickheavy8982]

Have you figured this out yet? I had the same problem

When will C4D2024 be supported?
