X-Particles offers a completely new particle system for Cinema 4D that doesn’t use the C4D standard Emitter or thinking particles. X-Particles comes in three products with a standard version, a pro version, and if you want to kick the tires, a demo version is available. For more information on the various features that X-Particles offers there is a handy X-Particle comparison chart here.

X-Particles Pro costs 289 euros. Upgrades from version 1 are available and cost 175 euros. To purchase or upgrade a licence, please visit thepurchase page. It is also possible to upgrade to v2 Pro from v2 Standard at a cost of 100 euros.
