Hey,

I can see the problem you were having, the trick is to get the particles inside the spherical falloff field for the rotation to work. I’ve amended your setup here https://www.dropbox.com/s/c9i0f356dx7io4r/WindTPV03.c4d?dl=0

Hope this helps!

Hey dude,

Thanks for the love.

You can create this with standard emitter, I’d advise to go down that route to avoid the xpresso headaches.

For your problem make sure you have the rotators falloff set to spherical, then Make sure it’s oreinted correctly, you may have to experiment by rotating it 90 degrees on different axis to get the particles to rotate in the right way. To me it sounds like falloff should do the trick. If you set up 2 rotator fields with spherical falloff and place those in front of the oncoming particle, once it hits the falloff field they should rotate and split.

Should if that doesn’t make sense or feel free to send over a scene file if it isn’t NDA’d.

Cheers!

Hey dude,

We used Cinema4D’s mograph module along with standard emitter to achieve this look. Essentially we emitted particles that were driving a tracer object and manipulated the way particles moved using forces like rotation and turbulence. Then rendered the scene using hair render.

Hope this helps! Shout if you have any other questions.

Cheers!
