X-Particles is a new and powerful particle engine for CINEMA 4D from MAXON. For examples of renders using X-Particles, please see the slideshow below, or the gallery where you can find the X-Particles reel and a number of still images.

Particles is a new and powerful particle engine for CINEMA 4D from MAXON

X-Particles is a completely new particle system which does not need the standard CINEMA 4D emitter or Thinking Particles. It has a number of components:

• six generator objects – Emitter, Object Generator, Sprite Generator, Trail Generator, Skinner object, and Fragmenter object
• very fast particle rendering even with 10s of millions of particles
• 39 Xpresso nodes
• greatly enhanced Python support
• new particle Painting tool
• three control objects – System, Question, and Action
• twenty-seven (count ‘em!) particle modifiers including versions of all the inbuilt modifiers in Cinema and some new ones not provided with C4D as standard
• seven tags
• greatly enhanced fluid module with wet map generation
• particle to scene object and particle to particle collisions
• fluid simulation and multiphysics constraints
• four shaders - Particle, Sprite, Skin and Wet Map
• completely revised and updated caching system
• online updater for rapid updates and bug fixes
