Dynamics

Constraints are a versatile tool, essential for motion graphics and visual effects artists.

Learn the basic functions of this dynamic object, from spring connections and particle forces, to viscous fluids and friction-based grains.

Explore scene-based techniques and discover how constraints work alongside other X-Particles tools. 

ExplosiaFX is an immensely powerful solver used to create various fluid effects like smoke, fire, powder explosions and more.

Learn all about the Solver itself and how it’s parameters can be tweaked and tuned to suit any gaseous scenario.

Use Modifiers, Deformers, Particles and Selection maps to “paint” and shape fluids. Convert objects and emitters into Sources and Colliders with the ExplosiaFX Tags.

xpFlowField is a very powerful and versatile way of driving particle motion.

Learn about the velocity field paradigm and how it can create beautiful flowing particle simulations.

Generate the cell vectors with all types of inputs from splines and surfaces to shaders and other particles, all to create powerful, art-directable custom particle modifiers.

X-Particles includes a whole toolkit dedicated to producing stunning fluid effects, including three fluid solvers.

Learn how to choose the best fluid solver for the scene you are simulating, from large-scale waterfalls to macro splashes.

Explore each fluid solver in-depth, learning all about the various parameters and settings.
