Why X-Particles?
An essential component of an artist’s toolkit, X-Particles is the solution to satisfy all your particle needs: Cloth, Smoke, Fire, Fluids, Grains and Dynamics. Designers can switch effortlessly between motion graphics and VFX, within a unified system.
Create outstanding ParticleFX from Solar Systems, FUI, Holograms and medical visualizations to abstract artwork. Multiple options to combine Emitters and Modifiers, gives you a range of possibilities.

xpFluidFLIP
xpFluidFLIP features a choice of fluid solvers, APIC and FLIP.
The APIC solver is fantastic at maintaining liquid momentum, preserving the natural flow that your fluids should have and can also provide a more dynamic yet very stable simulation.
xpFluidFLIP has a new collisions system which handles not only static collider objects but also fast-moving or rotating collider objects. Itcan interact with all other xpDynamics objects giving you endless possibilities.
xpFluidFLIP helps you create detailed, fast fluid simulations, giving you more artistic control than ever before.

xpScatter
xpScatter enables you to scatter your objects over multiple scene geometry, from splines to parametric objects all at the same time.
The topology tab will enable you to distribute your scatter on landscape slope, height, and curvature to create realistic ecosystems.
Animate your growth by using textures, X-Particles modifiers, and Mograph effectors.
Use multiple display modes for fast viewport performance. You can even restrict the scatter of objects to within the camera field of vision for optimal efficiency.

xpCache
Our time and custom spline retiming option give you fine control over playback. The new cache layers in xpCache enables you to lock and unlock to re-cache objects in your scene.

Seamless Integration
X-Particles is built seamlessly into Cinema 4D like it is part of the application. It’s compatible with the existing particle modifiers, object deformers, Mograph effectors, Hair module, native Thinking Particles, and works with the dynamics system in R14 and later.
If you know how to use the Mograph module, you already know how to use X-Particles, it's that easy.
