Hoi

Thank you, learn so much on deformation on object using x-particle. Looking forward to more info and tutorial on x-particle

msedov

you're welcome! I will make bonus tutorial with x-particles! Stay tuned!

msedov

Yeahh) i’m so happy

Hi, I am trying this tutorial and have 2 problems - firstly I cant get it to be calm and smooth, once the falloff fields hits it sends a vibrating pulse around the edges it touches as if there was a noise shader with animation applied around the edges of the field.

Jay

I also cant render it once I have cached it, I am using cycles and it is the first time I have come across this problem, it looks fine in the viewport but will only render if I delete the XP cache. Please advise

msedov

Hello! Please make sure that you activated constraints in XpDynamics tag and deactivate push parameter in xp dynamics. Also you should use xp constraints modifier to control your dynamics. Overall press Cntr+D on windows or Cmd+D on a Mac and increase subframe steps to more accurate your simulation

Sometimes xp doesn't correct in render view. As i know it's a bag. So. I recommend backed your geometry in alembic to avoid any issues with render. I hope it's clear more or less

Hello Mikhail, thank you for this great tutorial! I love how you explore x-particles and it's capabilities. I have a question - how would you have the part of the tube outside of the inflation filed to not deform or move at all? It's kind of drifting in space at the moment. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for kind words. Actually it is tricky part to hold position for the inflated object with xp. As I remember I've just tell the camera follow the object in order to make illusion that object in the same place.
