CreativMotion’s Cole Wilson walks though a project he recently created and covers the projects use of Thinking Particles in Cinema 4D. Cole takes a look at the TP settings and groups, and passing particle groups. He also takes a look at Thinking Particle Collisions and effectors, and how you can combine Thinking Particles with Cinema 4D’s MoGraph Module and Dynamics.

This is an overview or breakdown of a TP setup, I don’t go into detail regarding creating everything from scratch. It is mainly me explaining why and how each of the nodes are connectedCole Wilson - CreativMotion

Diving into the Xpresso that can be used to spawn Thinking Particle events, Cole shows what is used in the setup, and what the nodes do and how they are all connected. This represents Cole’s second tutorial in C4d, but he does tweet some great Cinema 4D tips through his twitter account quite regularly, you can follow CreativMotion here.
