Insidium Releases X-Particles With Massive Updates

The latest release of X-Particles adds massive new features and updates.

X-Particles build 884 release shows no sign that the Insidium team is slowing down. The latest version sees some substantial new features and updates to existing ones.

xp Explosia FX.

The new version sees some significant changes to the Explosia FX object for simulating smoke, fire and more. Explosia has new up-res and container size options. How collisions happen, have been completely rewritten and modified. Now Explosia offers a new OpenGL viewport display that provides a realtime preview of your effects.

xp Ocean.

A new ocean generator makes its way to X-Particles. xpOcean allows you to create realistic loopable animated water surfaces.

xp Flock.

X-Particles gets a new flocking system with xpFlock. The system offers a modern yet simple to use take on flocking systems for C4D.

xp Push Apart.

Push apart is a new system that allows you to push particles away from each other based on distance or particle radius. PushApart seems like an instant tool to create packing for particles in C4D.

The latest Update of X-Particles is available for customers within their Maintenance Period. Learn more here.
