As usual with all X-Particles tutorials, this didn't work. It's a new problem every time, and this time it was unbearable lag as soon as I added ExplosiaFX. Made everything so slow I couldn't continue. Edit: Yep, after an hour of fruitless attempts to fix this, it was the thing that made me give up on INSYDIUM completely. 36 days into a 90 day trial, countless attempts to make something work the same way it does in tutorials, and not a single success. This is an objectively bad piece of software. The tutorial looked amazing, and far better than any of the useless content they put out officially. Wish I could have got it to work. Subscribed either way - brilliant channel!
I have the same experience. Its running near real time in his viewport. I have a 3090 and a 5800X with 32GB ram. It really should not be doing 6fps when I add the Xplosia FX. Even when I turn off the XplosiaFX display its still 6fps
I Dug more into it. It seems that XP is not optimized for anything above R23. I tried running this tutorial with R23 and it suddenly starts working like a charm
@@Frez121212 That's really interesting. Thanks for the info! Reasons like this I tend to always stay a few versions behind for overall production. None the less glad to hear it's working appropriately now!
@@keshaavsingh Yeah, most companies are moving away from Open GL. Insydium should have kept up with the times. They've had, what, three versions to prepare for Vulkan? It'll only get worse.
Definitely did not know how to do most of this. Happy to see a tutorial showing the workflow with octane to create a sand shockwave effect. Thank you for sharing, exactly what I was looking for
great tut, beautiful result. I found that if you only plan to use 25 frames whynot just cut your project time to 25 before you cache, way quicker, and then extend it to 90 after
Thankyou man! Have another going up today. All the thanks to them their tutorials are amazing! I just like to add to it and make more focused tutorials on achieving deliberate results.
Can you maybe explain why my "fire-simulation" looks so weird in viewport? It's not even close to what you have. It's just a bunch of pixels which barely have the shape of the simulation. Tried to change some display-settings, but nothing works and even if it slightly improves the display-quality, it completely kills viewport performance. 1557 with c4d 23.2.2
Thank you for this tute! Needed something like this for an ad and there is bugger all training out there for anything that isn't the fundamentals! What rig are you running bro? Your sims are running so bloody fast! I thought I had a good machine till I watched this haha. Threadripper?
Thanks man! I found the same thing. I want to fill that gap! Hahaha I feel as if mine are slow sometimes, not even I have a 3900X that's like 2 years old. I do have 128GB of ram though that helps cinema chug a bit. I have 2x 3080's but they just help me bully cinema and playback simulations with octane open.
This looks great mate. Is there a simple solution to emit the particles from a triangle, rather than a circle? I looked at using an N-side and changing the emitter shape to object but you lose object properties. Any thoughts?
Thanks man! Try using a cylinder and set the rotation segments to 3, make it super thin on the height maybe (0.1 - 1). Then make it editable and loop the outside face and set a selection, then use the selection in the selection tab under the object and set the emission to polygons, should work! You might have to set the Emission to Rate instead of Shot even if you just emit it for 1 frame to create the exact same thing. For some reason the Shot setting can misbehave when emitting from poly's
Hi, was wondering what system do you have that your X-particles viewport is soooo buttery smooth. I tried following the tutorial but i couldnt get explosiafx moving. Thanks so much!!
Hey my xparticles looks different in the viewport and runs pretty sluggish compared to yours and I have a pretty beefy system, are there any settings you have on that might help?
@@GraysonSedory Ahh gotcha. Was gonna say you have a better GPU and CPU than me only difference is I have 128GB Ram but I don't think in that higher up range we'd be noticing a drastic difference, probably the OpenGL thing for sure. Takes me years to latch onto the new versions. I have been dabbling in R25 a bit recently for modelling but I have no idea how long it will be until I use it for production.

Sorry to hear that man. Try and turn it off in the viewport, you don't need it on to art direct the particles you just need it in the scene.

Finally some modern X-Particles tutorials 👌🏼 - awesome mate, would love more XP tuts etc
More to come!

Thanks a lot to bring the beauty to the world!!!
Glad to see some quality X particles tutorials. Thanks!
Great tutorial. One of my favorites of yours.
Hoping to see more xparticle tuts from you!
Did the XpXplosia change after R25. My default settings don't look as good as yours.

THANK YOU! Insydium needs more "bite-sized" tutorials like this.
Thankyou man! Have another going up today. All the thanks to them their tutorials are amazing! I just like to add to it and make more focused tutorials on achieving deliberate results.
This is so good bro, please do more!
Amazing tutorial. Very straight forward and super easy to follow, big thanks!
Thankyou!
Thanks for sharing quality tutorial like this one. 🙏🏼🤘🏼😉
great tutorial bro
Did you set a second ExplosiaFX on the blue shockwave? How did you achieve the effect on 17:30? Thank you.
Really love this content! thx!!!
Awesome tutorial!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for tutorial !!!!
it's very cool! 😆

Mine does this these days too, haven't looked into it myself but I think you might find a solution on Insydium's channel
@@Sketchyvisuals Yes, I followed the tutorial step by step. The final effect is like a bunch of pixels with no volume. Are there any other settings?
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing. What's your X-Particles version?

can you make this without X-particles.
Nice one
Very cool and super useful. Thank you!
What were you downloading on steam? lol
Thanks man! And Jedi Fallen Order I think lol ;)
hi,great tutorial..how do you make your particles look so bold and crisp?mine look translucent and thinned out for some reason
Thanks man! Probably the size of the sphere you are using as the geometry or the amount of particles

@@Sketchyvisuals Absolute hero! Bit of turbulence and some tweaking and that will work a treat! Thanks so much
do you know how can I made this one with redshift? This tuto is awesome. thanks.
It would be the exact same if you know how to render particles themselves with Redshift! Thanks :)

What's your PC specs?
@@Sketchyvisuals RTX 3090, 9900K @5GHZ, 64GB Ram
@@Sketchyvisuals i figured it out, i'm using R26 and I don't think the OpenGL option for ExplosiaFX works in this version.

@@Sketchyvisuals thanks for the replies and for the great vid!
My simulation (fuel) just sinks downward instead of staying level/rising. What gives?
I had this problem, needed to set the gravity in ExplosiaFX simulation tab to 0
Love your stuff. Now where the fuck is your patreon
Hahaha thankyou, I used to have one but I have so much traction with the store it would be a tough switch! Might look into it again :)
this doesnt work with c4d 2023.1.3
you mean you couldn't get it to work*
@@Sketchyvisuals update to 2023.2.0 and update latest nvidia drives. then works.
i copied exactly and doesnt look anything like this. thanks though. yours looks great.
Just keep trying man there's always just a couple of values holding everything back in those situations
First
watch ur tone yeah
