Hi all, I stumbled across this rendering (credits to Maurice Fransen) and I'm wondering how to get this nice (exponential?) fracture effect. I'm assuming he used X-Particles to some degree as the project description suggests. I't looks a bit like the circle packer, but isn't. Please see image attached for the effect I'm after. Thank you!

Hey, interesting what you did there with the two turbulence mods. Looks really cool! The only issue I find with the turbulence is that it affects the whole system, as in it dissolves that defined emmission area which looks like a spline (where the orange particles are being born...maybe needs a cylindrical falloff on the small turbulence mod?). You might be onto something with the constraints though! I played with the "connect at birth" stuff early in the piece but ditched it because it bogged everything down badly. Totally forgot about the viscosity setting though, I'll give that a bash! In the meantime, here's what I ended up with before calling it a day yesterday. Le's see if we can figure this out in the end?! 😃 EDIT: Unfortunately I don't think the constraints are doing the trick. Not in conjunction with particle advection anyway, which I think might be essential for this one. Either advection with Explosia/TFD or some FluidFX trickery. Introducing constraints just made everything really slow for me without having the desired effect. Bugger! Water_Spline.c4d

I'm trying to achieve something similar with X-Particles. I gave curl turbulence, FluidFX and particle advection with Explosia a whirl (ha ha) but I just can't get anywhere close to this nice stringy look. Does anyone have a hint by any chance? https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/hd/0dc96483294049.5d38037b15b35.jpg

Fair enough, please find the scene file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b84e9vsybs2ll28/Pillow_Morphs_03.c4d?dl=0 It's broken down/numbered by the steps I took. Note: In the end I'd actually like to push the level of detail further with more variations of the base mesh and potentially higher subdivisions. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have a scene which I think should/could be a lot snappier than it is now. Have I over-complicated things? The task is to turn an array of static cubes into pillows which then fly off, colliding with each other, etc. I can't use the "Blend" mode of the cloner as it doesn't work with the jiggle deformer (I want the clones to jiggle a bit as they turn into pillows). What I have done: - created a pillow from a cube with the dress-o-matic function of the cloth tag. (40x40x20 cm, subs 40,40,1) - pose morphed another cube into the pillow shape. Jiggle deformer applied. - baked the pose morph and jiggle deformation into PLA. - cloned the baked object. An effector is triggering the start time of the PLA and the dynamics. (128 clones in total. Render/multi instances aren't working.) The scene is incredibly slow, is there any other way to achieve what I'm after? I can't go any lower on the subs of the cube as I need a certain level of detail around the seams of the pillows. Thanks a lot, looking forward to your thoughts.
