Thinking Particles

The way of creating Thinking Particles has changed since RealFlow | Cinema 4D 3.0:

• Open Simulate > Thinking Particles > Thinking Particles Settings... or inside your Fluid node click on Particles > Thinking Particles Settings... 

• Right click on the "All" branch and choose "Add" to create a new group.
• We recommend changing the default name ("Group.1") to something more meaningful like the fluid container's name.

The new group has to be linked to the according fluid container:

• Drag the group to the fluid container's Particles > Thinking Particles field.
• The group can also be connected to MoGraph nodes, a "Particle Geometry" object, etc.

• The size of the particles can be scaled using fluid properties like speed, age or vorticity.

  

• RealFlow | Cinema 4D is able to mesh Thinking Particles. Simply drag a "Fluid" group to Mesher > Mesh > TP Group.
• The Thinking Particles from RealFlow | Cinema 4D can also be used in 3rd party tools if they provide an appropriate interface.
