Thanks !

Hey, thanks! I'm not sure I understand completely. Are you saying each part is a group of objects, and you want them to stay together? If that's the case, you could group them under a null so the fracture treats them as a single object.

Hi, at the beginning of each video, I quickly review each setting. Regarding snapping, I simply use the snapping option in C4D. ua-cam.com/video/0gUHUaOh6uE/v-deo.htmlsi=AOy-0_kq4lx9mR1g

@@gillesdillenseger6472 You definitely do that, but thats running throught the slider controls. When you are using the angle tool and you want to snap the line against an edge what is your process? BTW, no criticism, I absolutely love what you have done. I actually think its worth you doing a demo video of you using these tools.

@@gillesdillenseger6472 Just to say I have followed the tutorials, but i would prefer to buy your files because I am inexperienced in using expresso. The thing that stops me buying is not a full explanation of the use of the tools. The length measure is easy to work with as you shift along the 'END'null. But on the Angle tool going into to the hiarachy and adjusting the angle of the mospline in the hope of snapping to an edge,point,polygon seems not very user friendly and breaks the tool itself.

Got it! No need to worry about the hierarchy-it’s super simple. Just pick the main null called "angle," and you’ll find all the settings you need in the User Data tab to adjust the tool. The idea is to place that null at the origin of the angle you want to work with, align the tool using the Coordinates tab, and then type in the angle you need in the User Data tab. I didn’t include a snapping feature, unfortunately, but I hope this helps! 😊

@@gillesdillenseger6472 Ah, thats what i was thinking. This isnt actually a tool. Especially the Angle tool - its doesnt work with geometry of an object to give you the angle ie the angle edge doesnt snap to an object . Having to type in the angle information in user data means its not actually a tool - Its more for display/rendering purposes only and isnt a drawing aid which is a shame because it could have been both. Mate, i think with your skill you can tweak this to make it properly functional, at the moment its not, well the angle tool isnt anyway and im guessing the same applies to the radius tool. The measure line tool seems to work in that respect but you have to go into the hiarachy and not the user data ctrl system you have created which feels counter intuitive.

hey bro! this is insane!! how did u get the primary knowledge? where can i dig to start understanding all the issues inside? regards!!!!

Take a look at Chris Schmidt's intro video-he covers every detail of the particle system! ua-cam.com/video/S6Oq4Xnc-AU/v-deo.htmlsi=3C5ouNqC1c4iwsti

Sure! I just tested it on 2025 to confirm it still works. The PSR constraint is still present in 2025, but it’s now called "transform." By the way, thanks for watching!

​@@gillesdillenseger6472 appreciate the quick reply, just purchased! you are the bomb!!

You're welcome! Thanks a bunch for your purchase!

Sure, my approach would be to introduce an intermediate group. In the "big" group, the reproduce called "activator" could transfer particles to a group called "pre-activator" (or any other name), in which i'd add a field condition (using a spherical field for exemple). Then, using a switch group operator, the particles would be moved to the activator group once the condition is met (e.g., when the particles are within the spherical field). I hope this makes sense :)

@ no it doesn’t but that’s fine, i bought the files and it is perfect for what i needed it. I was about to spend a few hours making this in Houdini and honestly you saved me so much time 😊

Thank you for your purchase! If you could share your email, I’d be happy to send you an updated file if that would be helpful.

@@gillesdillenseger6472 That is really kind of you, we have already delivered the animation to the client and he is very happy with how it looks. Thanks again for saving us tons of time!!!

Great !

Hi , thanks for your review, could you please send me your file so I can have a look ? dillensegerpro@gmail.com

Hey, what’s the scale of the bottle compared to the original sphere? If it’s significantly larger, that would mean a lot of particles are being spawned. Also, what’s your setup?

@@gillesdillenseger6472 I think it maybe is my setups problem :D I work on a 2022 Razer laptop. It handels normal c4D and GPU work nice. But I think the CPU performance is limited here :D --> Scale of the bottle is the same as the sphere :-)

@@jj89677 That’s strange-if the object is the same size, it shouldn’t be harder to manage. Plus, since the particle system is GPU-accelerated, it should perform efficiently. Have you tried using a different object to see if the issue persists? (I'm on a 2022 laptop aswell)

@@gillesdillenseger6472 thanks for your answer :-). The sphere works great. The bottle retepol. works but very slow. The simulation in the viewport takes like 98% of my CPU performance. I installed c4d 2025 maybe I missed a checkbox in preferences:D!?

Just to give you an idea: when I switch to the Can with the same radius as the sphere but double the height, the particle count doubles. While working on it and making adjustments, I had to disable certain particle groups-usually, I kept the smaller droplets turned off. I also only enable the mesher for rendering, as it slows down my playback frame rate significantly. The setup is still fairly heavy, so a slower frame rate is expected on a laptop. I hope this helps !

2024.4 yes

Hey , non c'était plus un petit exercice d'ambiance et de rendu, j'ai listé les modèles utilisés dans la description si ça t'intéresse 😀

En fait à la base c'était censé être une mise en contexte de mon dernier tuto mais je me suis pris au jeu 😄

@@gillesdillenseger6472ah oui sorry j’avais pas bien regardé. Superbe ambiance en tout cas. J’adore la variation dans tes projets! 🎉 Et merci pour les supers tutos!

Merci , c'est motivant !

Thanks so much for your feedback! I’ve been using Redshift, which has its own pyro and pyro volume shader. I haven’t used Octane or Arnold, but I’m sure they have something similar!

haha yes indeed, thanks :)

Thanks 😀

thank you for watching !

merci !

thank you !

Hi, are you using the file from my gumroad or did you make it from scratch ?

Great !

Thanks for your feedback !

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I just checked it out, and there's an easy fix. I'll do my best to upload a video explaining it as soon as possible!

Sure, this new particle system il really fun and promissing !

Thanks for watching 😀

Yes I know , I guess really like putting xpresso tags everywhere 😀

@@gillesdillenseger6472 I also have a tendency to overcomplicate things, more or less :) Nevertheless, great particle setup!

@@FLXD I usually go with Xpresso for this type of constraint right from the start, especially since I might need more control over PSR later on. I prefer keeping everything in a single tag rather than managing a separate constraint tag. Having both simultaneously can quickly turn into a priority headache, so it's more of a workflow habit for me.

Hi, difficult to answer like that, maybe send me your file so I can have a look: gilles.dillenseger@gmail.com

Yes, it’s possible to export the animation as an Alembic file. However, this isn't suitable for real-time use, as Alembic files are quite large since they store the entire mesh for each frame. This approach would work if you're planning to export the result as a video. As for the shader, you can open the C4D file in Unreal, and the shaders should transfer, but I'm not certain how well they will translate. Some adjustments may be required.

@@gillesdillenseger6472 Thank you for the advice

salut , difficile de répondre comme ça, pourrais tu m'envoyer un exemple de ce problème --> gilles.dillenseger@gmail.com

Thanks !

Thanks so much for the suggestion! I hadn’t thought about doing a tutorial on that, but it’s a really great idea-so yeah, why not!

Thank you 😀

😊 merci !

Thanks for your feedback! I'm not quite sure what might be causing this issue. Have you tried updating your NVIDIA driver?

Hey, thanks so much for your review! If you're familiar with XP, you'll get the hang of this pretty fast since the concepts are really similar. I’ve used XP a bit too and still think it’s a bit better than the new system, but it’s awesome to be able to do this right in C4D!

Thank you 😀

Thanks ! 😀

Thanks 😀

Thanks, I'm glad this was helpful!

Hey, I won’t have access to my computer for the week, but I’ll check it out when I’m back.

@@gillesdillenseger6472 thank you so much for replay, btw I found a glitch. I did mistake in start hight and end hight's constraint tag, I did not checked Local P. Now I did correction.. and again thank you so much for great tutorial..

Yes, that part is a bit confusing. I suspected the error might be related to the local/global positioning. I'm glad you found a solution!

Hey, I won’t have access to my computer for the week, but I’ll check it out when I’m back.

Thanks 😀

Hi, thank you! I briefly explain that aspect towards the end of the tutorial

Hey! I'll be away for the next two weeks and won't have access to my computer, but I'll definitely check it out when I'm back. Feel free to let me know if you find a solution in the meantime!

Yep I had the same error, the problem is the Boolean, just deactivate the "High Quality" option that should fix it

@@Ladroga. Thanks for sharing this 😀

Absolutely! When I use a Redshift tag, I believe you can achieve the same thing with an Octane tag (although I haven't used Octane myself). Alternatively, you could use a cloner to replicate the drops on the particles.

​@@gillesdillenseger6472 Hi thanks for your reply! got your file on gumroad and I'll test it out on Octane!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I know adjusting those parameters can be a bit tricky since they all work together, but if you’ve got a setup that feels good and just want to slow things down a bit, I’d suggest caching the particles first. After that, head to the cache tab where you’ll find a speed slider-just make sure to tweak the speed for all the particle groups involved ! I hope this helps !

@@gillesdillenseger6472 Works like a charm! Thank you so much for your help - it worked perfectly! Your tutorials and tips are a lifesaver. Looking forward to learning more from you! 🙌

@@Nauaua thanks, You're welcome! Happy I could assist!
