3DBonfire shows how to create a model infection system that uses Insydium NeXus and Cinema 4D to create growing fungi.

This new tutorial from 3DBonfire (Markus Gonser) continues growth techniques that merge animation and beauty. The tutorial shows how to use Cinema 4D and Insydium NeXus to create a fungi growth effect.

The technique shown has the fungi eat away at the 3D model, and Gonser mentions that it is entirely destructive for the 3D model.

In another growth-effect tutorial, Gonser shows how to use the new cloth sim tools, showing how to make a transformation and growth effect. Visit that tutorial here.
