My guesses and expectations for the new particles: Good performance Properly embedded in the new universal simulation system Somewhat basic feature set at launch, but deepened in the next releases Natural behaviour (I hope for good presets/starting points) Easy, intuitive UI As for x-particles - in hindsight, it makes a lot of sense that they broadened their portfolio with Terraform, Taiao, Cycles, Meshtools, etc. Perhaps they knew or anticipated this move by Maxon. Yeah, well, it's quite obvious actually, as particles are so immensely useful. in comparison to my expectations above, i think of x-particles: Performance is mediocre at best, even with the GPU-Nexus-Acceleration It's somewhat isolated in C4D, interactivity is possible, but it often requires jumping through extra hoops It's packed with features, to the point where it's all too much. I kept learning and forgetting stuff at the same pace 😕. I guess it will take some years until C4D's new particles fully replace x-particles. But maybe it's a lot faster with a fresh new concept. We'll see soon 🙂 In my experience, it's a lot of work to make things behave natural. Just some rain with turbulence? It never feels quite right, I feel like I always have to fight that damn thing Watching Bob Walmsley's great tutorials make it look easy, but I keep getting lost in the tabs and sub-tabs of this plugin. It doesn't help that there is no translation for my native language available, which sucks at this price.

@Johnny Maunason For this particular use case the Fracture object isn't the right solution. Just group your objects along with the effector (with deformation set to object) under a null and it should scale relative to the individual axes.

This post is a list to contain all plugins I've encountered across the web. I will be updating this post regularly so keep visiting it every month or so... I will only provide links to the plugins/scripts, not the plugins/scripts themselves unless the author gives permission. You can p.m. me to add things to make the list grow faster.

How about animating a delay effector into the scene with a high setting to stop everything, then jitter the animation in the timeline. Or maybe animate the speed of your noise shaders to zero. Not sure if you can do anything with the mograph cache ? Bit beyond my area of expertise to be honest. Deck

This whole thread is very entertaining!!!!!
