X-Particles 3 是一个CINEMA 4D全新功能的粒子与特效VFX系统插件。使用一个独特的Questions和动作系统，你可以得到粒子完全控制模拟，而不需要的Xpresso或CINEMA 4D的原生粒子系统。粒子，液体和气体的模拟都可以在 X-Particles 3 实现。
Cinema 4D是一套由德国公司Maxon Computer开发的3D绘图软件，以及高的运算速度和强大的渲染插件著称。Cinema 4D 应用广泛，在广告、电影、工业设计、等方面都有出色的表现，例如影片《阿凡达》有花鸦三维影动研究室中国工作人员使用Cinema 4D制作了部分场景，在这样的大片中看到C4D的表现是很优秀的。在其他动画电影中也使用到C4D的有很多如《毁灭战士》（Doom）、《范海辛》〈Van Helsing〉、《蜘蛛侠》、以及动画片《极地特快》、《丛林总动员》（Open Season）等等。它正成为许多一流艺术家和电影公司的首选，Cinema 4D已经走向成熟，很多模块的功能在同类软件中是代表科技进步的成果。
Helloluxx learn X Particles 3 from Tim Clapham
In this comprehensive X-Particles 3 tutorial, Tim Clapham takes you through the process of building several mini projects, allowing you to learn XP3 using practical examples.
X-Particles 3 is an incredible plug-in, currently the most powerful particle system available for Cinema 4D. Covering many of the key features, including the xpSystem, Dynamics, Groups, Emitters, Generators, Caching, Modifiers, Questions and Actions, this training will teach you in-depth techniques of X-Particles 3, so you can master this feature rich toolset.
Creating a Fireworks Simulation
In this introductory tutorial we start with a single particle rocket firing into the sky, we then expand upon this adding a trail to the rocket. We use questions to control effects, specifically the xpSpawn Modifier which we use to add more particles and create a burst as the rocket reaches it’s apex. Adding the xpMaterial allows us to render the result, completing the basic firework setup.
The tutorial continues by introducing the concept of working with particle groups so we can isolate specific effects to groups of particles and we expand further on the X-Particles questions and actions concept. By the end of the tutorial we will have created several types of fireworks and explored a variety of X-Particle principles, giving you a solid foundation to continue developing your own setups.
Duration: Just over 7 hours total running time.
Minimum Requirements: X-Particles 3 / Cinema 4D R13 and above / Some tutorials require the MoGraph module.
