About the video: Let's use the dynamics!

Overview

“Once we have the letter "F" with the emitter mode object and it emits us with the texture we made, we are going to apply the famous dynamics so that they begin to interact with our particles. I am going to use the ExplosiaFx and the XpExplosiafx Source, which is an tag of the same dynamics, to transfer its properties to an object and to be able to adjust its parameters. Here we will adjust pressure and gravity to get our particles to follow the explosion. We will adjust the speed and we will see how this simulation behaves, in such a way that it does not make it too difficult to read our lyrics. ”

In this video lesson Erich Gordon addresses the topic: Let's use the dynamics!, which is part of the Domestika online course: Animated 3D Lettering with X-Particles. Learn to create simulations with the Cinema 4D plugin and bring your fonts to life.

Partial transcription of the video

“Let's use the dynamics! In this lesson we will go into dynamics. Let's see everything related to the xpExplosiaFX, that will be very useful to us by applying this behavior to our lyrics. Go for it. We are going to start using dynamics. We are going to use the dynamics of Explosia FX, which is going to do something very special. Right now we don't see him, he's not doing anything because it doesn't recognize what object it wants to have that dynamic. For that, we are going to use the converted Letter F and we are going to apply a Cinema tag called xpExplosiaFX Source to it. And there it begi...”
