Nidia Dias shows how Redshift and X-Particles work together to create abstract forms.

You can’t tell by just looking at it, but Nidia Dias’ echoic X project used some fascinating techniques with X-Particles and Redshift. Check out this short breakdown that shows how you can use a fluid or smoke simulation to draw an animated vertex map in Cinema 4D.

The simulation comes from X-Particles Explosia FX and uses xpVertexMap to create and write out the vertex map image. Dias then uses that image to drive a displacement along with some other parameters with Redshift.

X-Particles

X-Particles is the ultimate particle and effects tool for Cinema 4D. Visit our friends at ToolFarm to learn more and get X-Particles.
