It gets a little trickier if you’re not happy with the default look. You’d have to make the motext editable, make the resulting extrude objects editable, and then connect them into a single object. Then you can manually adjust the extrusion and the polygon selection for the white material.
If you go that way you can put the resulting object inside of a mograph fracture object (set to explode and connect) and apply the random effector to the fracture.

The easiest way to speed up dynamics is to change the time scale setting in Edit>Project Settings>Dynamics.
For example, if you set it to 200% the simulation will be twice as fast.
Another option would be to increase the gravity setting.

Instead of using two motext objects I would use one and set the start cap to “fillet cap” and the fillet type to “1 step.” Put a blue material on the motext and then put a white material on it restricted to “C1”.

Have you set your light to cast shadows?

As far as I know the Shader Effector will only accept image formats (obj is an object format).
Probably best to post your basic scene file set up as far as you’ve gotten.

Hi Jesse,
Yes, both TFD and xParticles provide for dynamics/collision. Here’s a quick example I did with TFD: https://www.3danvil.com/temp/Fart_.mov

You can calm it down by changing some of the Sound Effector parameters. For example, set the sample mode to Average, raise the falloff setting (with Apply Mode>All), and adjust the filter shape spline graph.

This is a gas/fluid simulation so the best thing to use would be a purpose-built simulator like the TurbulenceFD plugin for Cinema. X-Particles could also do a pretty good job with or without fluid simulation. The next best option in Cinema would be Thinking Particles with Pyrocluster. Can’t speak to 3dsmax, though, as I haven’t used it in years.

The Bulge Deformer would probably work well for that.

Yep, you lack a click. ????
Go to the pyro material’s shape tab and check the “Use Particle TM” box.
From the help file:
Use Particle TM
If you enable this option, PyroCluster will use the particle’s transformation matrix to calculate the rotation of any puff or atmospheric effect.
