Join me on a first test of the newly updated particle system in C4D 2024.4. We'll dive in and start with a relatively simple project inspired by the moldy orange by Scott Frizzle in the Maxon teaser. Instead of an orange, we'll grow mold on an onion. You'll need to update to C4D 2024.4 to follow along. Great for beginner and intermediate C4D users.

    Congratulations Travis! This is the first tutorial on the new particle stuff I saw on the internet that shows a concrete scenario completely and also explains it very well! The speed, the tonality, the image - everything to the point. Wonderful to follow. Big like! Please keep it up. Liked and subscribed. Greetings from Austria
  • @santiagogervaz9608
    This tutorial is so clear and easy to follow, subbed and looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you so much!
  • @avi3dfx1210
    Thanks great video as always❀😊
  • @pzdmc4d
    LIke it, except the fact you rotted my onion :). I like the tut.
  • @stemfourvisual
    Great tut, thank you. I thought I'd be clever and use the Freeze clamp field in grow mode, for some reason this practically freezes everything... Perhaps a bug to be ironed out.
  • @ricknweg
    Hey, thx for the demonstration! How would you go about that if you still wanted the particle growth (radius) over it's age but still have randomly scaled particles so that the result is not so even?
  • @user-um4wm2dr2m
    I do not have a Red Shift account. Please create a matrix using the basic renderer available in the program
  • @billr.2210
    Hi Travis, this was a great tutorial. There is one question I have, however. at around 12:26, you created an vertex color map before you created the vertex maps. The question is why? It seems to work without it, that is just with the vertex maps and not the vertex color map at all. Please let me know. Thank you!
  • @a_1236
    Is the particle system more user friendly than tyflow in 3dsmax?
  • @technoober8352
    The mold growth looks quite even. Is there a way to make it look more organic?
  • @eihabvisuals6327
    Can you make a rain tutorial like those fancy xparticles rain tutorials using default c4d ?
  • @mrk-ism
    what do you think is this an x-particles killer?
  • @willians387
    Will be always better Houdini and blender ❀
