  • Nutrients flowing through plant roots – how to approach this effect?

    Posted by Ximon Gray on September 4, 2015 at 6:33 am

    Hi guys, I’ve been asked to recreate the animation in this video.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cM09mQm_hg

    It shows a fairly detailed plant model, and a pulsating/flowing energy type of effect representing nutrients being absorbed by the roots and flowing up through the stem and into the leaves.

    I’m sort of okay with the modelling side of things (not sure how I’ll do the roots) but mainly I want to know how to make the flowing effect. I don’t know how to use Xpresso or TP, still kinda new to C4D.

    Cheers.

    that looks like texture not particles or xpresso – maybe a Gradient in 2D-V
