Definitely did not know how to do most of this. Happy to see a tutorial showing the workflow with octane to create a sand shockwave effect. Thank you for sharing, exactly what I was looking for

Great tutorial. One of my favorites of yours. Hoping to see more xparticle tuts from you!

Glad to see some quality X particles tutorials. Thanks!

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot to bring the beauty to the world!!!

Thanks for sharing quality tutorial like this one. 🙏🏼🤘🏼😉

Finally some modern X-Particles tutorials 👌🏼 - awesome mate, would love more XP tuts etc

This is so good bro, please do more!

As usual with all X-Particles tutorials, this didn't work. It's a new problem every time, and this time it was unbearable lag as soon as I added ExplosiaFX. Made everything so slow I couldn't continue. Edit: Yep, after an hour of fruitless attempts to fix this, it was the thing that made me give up on INSYDIUM completely. 36 days into a 90 day trial, countless attempts to make something work the same way it does in tutorials, and not a single success. This is an objectively bad piece of software. The tutorial looked amazing, and far better than any of the useless content they put out officially. Wish I could have got it to work. Subscribed either way - brilliant channel!

Sorry to hear that man. Try and turn it off in the viewport, you don't need it on to art direct the particles you just need it in the scene.

I have the same experience. Its running near real time in his viewport. I have a 3090 and a 5800X with 32GB ram. It really should not be doing 6fps when I add the Xplosia FX. Even when I turn off the XplosiaFX display its still 6fps

Thankyou man! Have another going up today. All the thanks to them their tutorials are amazing! I just like to add to it and make more focused tutorials on achieving deliberate results.

Nice one

great tut, beautiful result. I found that if you only plan to use 25 frames whynot just cut your project time to 25 before you cache, way quicker, and then extend it to 90 after

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing. What's your X-Particles version?

Did the XpXplosia change after R25. My default settings don't look as good as yours.

Thank you for this tute! Needed something like this for an ad and there is bugger all training out there for anything that isn't the fundamentals! What rig are you running bro? Your sims are running so bloody fast! I thought I had a good machine till I watched this haha. Threadripper?

Did you set a second ExplosiaFX on the blue shockwave? How did you achieve the effect on 17:30? Thank you.

hi,great tutorial..how do you make your particles look so bold and crisp?mine look translucent and thinned out for some reason

@Sketchyvisuals

Жыл бұрын

Thanks man! Probably the size of the sphere you are using as the geometry or the amount of particles

This looks great mate. Is there a simple solution to emit the particles from a triangle, rather than a circle? I looked at using an N-side and changing the emitter shape to object but you lose object properties. Any thoughts?

@Sketchyvisuals

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! Try using a cylinder and set the rotation segments to 3, make it super thin on the height maybe (0.1 - 1). Then make it editable and loop the outside face and set a selection, then use the selection in the selection tab under the object and set the emission to polygons, should work! You might have to set the Emission to Rate instead of Shot even if you just emit it for 1 frame to create the exact same thing. For some reason the Shot setting can misbehave when emitting from poly's

Can you maybe explain why my "fire-simulation" looks so weird in viewport? It's not even close to what you have. It's just a bunch of pixels which barely have the shape of the simulation. Tried to change some display-settings, but nothing works and even if it slightly improves the display-quality, it completely kills viewport performance. 1557 with c4d 23.2.2

@@Sketchyvisuals Yes, I followed the tutorial step by step. The final effect is like a bunch of pixels with no volume. Are there any other settings?

Hey my xparticles looks different in the viewport and runs pretty sluggish compared to yours and I have a pretty beefy system, are there any settings you have on that might help?

Was gonna say you have a better GPU and CPU than me only difference is I have 128GB Ram but I don't think in that higher up range we'd be noticing a drastic difference, probably the OpenGL thing for sure.
