Press Release

X-Particles Update – Build 1030, July 2021

With the latest X-Particles Update you’ll find that much of our UI has been updated, delivering a cleaner workflow. Of course, we’ve added some great new and updated features too.
We’re delighted to announce the introduction of Bullet, the industry-standard physics engine, into X-Particles. Our brand new xpBullet simulates collision detection as well as rigid body dynamics. Sitting within the X-Particles framework xpBullet provides so many possibilities. 
We’ve also focused on additions and improvements to xpOpenVDB and xpShatter.

The latest X-Particles Release Update is available to all users with an active Subscription, everyone who buys a new license, and existing customers within their Maintenance Period.

New Features

xpBullet

• Rigid Body Tag – xpBullet brings the industry-standard Bullet physics engine into the X-Particles framework.

xpShatter

• Color shards from particles – Takes the particle color and passes it into each shatter shard.
• Bricks mode – Generates brick and rock walls.
• Ngon display – Presents Ngons rather than triangulated meshes for a cleaner line display.
• Detailing – Adds noise maps to the shard faces for more realistic shatters.
• Trigger on Bullet – Collisions with Bullet based objects create trigger-to-trigger shatter.

xpOpenVDB

• Displays, Voxels and Fog (points) – New display modes for how VDBs are shown in the viewport, voxels and fog.
• OpenVDBLoader – Load and render exported VDB Data.
• UV Advection – UV advect textures based on the particle data giving you fluid effects on the texture maps.
• Transfer Foam – Generates a vertex map based on xpFoam data to use in rendering and other visual effects.
• Field for Filters – Use Cinema 4D fields and falloffs to define filter areas within the mesh.

Updates

• General UI update and full UI updates on xpShatter and xpOpenVDB for a cleaner workflow.
