About the video: xpFluidFX and its logic 1
Overview
“In this lesson I will teach you how to use the xpFluidFX dynamics. I will teach you the values of densities to manipulate their influence on the emitters or emitter that we previously placed. I will also explain how it works using its density parameters, which is fundamental to using this fluid dynamics. I will do some small tests so that you understand how, with different values, you can achieve different behaviors of liquids. We will touch the parameters of speed, pressure and rebound. ”
In this video lesson Erich Gordon addresses the topic: xpFluidFX and its logic 1, 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
“xpFluidFX and its logic In this lesson, we will see everything related to xpFluidFX and its logic and we will touch certain parameters, especially those of density, that will allow us certain behavior in the emission of the particles. Go for it. Notice that in this part of the Emitter, I took the speed away because usually by default I think they have 150, makes this blast because it's in Shot mode, but what is the matter? We are going to use the xpFluidFX and that is a dynamic that will calculate the density between each particle, Therefore, it does not matter that the speed comes through ...”
