Particles in Motion

CINEMA 4D's Thinking Particles module provides highly advanced particle effects that can be controlled through object and particle interaction. An abundance of XPresso nodes provides complete control over your particle effect.

Your particles are no longer a simple stream carried mindlessly by simple wind, collision and friction modifiers. With Thinking Particles, you can choreograph your particles with an amazing degree of control. Individual particles can inherit the motion of any object in your scene. They can spin or align themselves along any axis, including the direction of travel. Freeze particles in mid-air for "Matrix" effects, or cause them to repel and bounce off of one another. Your particles can still be carried by the wind and affected by gravity, but these parameters are now fully controllable based on scene events using XPresso.

Individual particle streams can even be grouped and manipulated independently. These streams can interact with other particle groups in the scene, or even be emitted by another particle group to create high-end studio-quality particle effects.

Thinking Particles makes it easy to control every aspect of particle motion. Make particles dance to any tune with Thinking Particles.
