XP粒子珊瑚生长C4D教程 Cinema 4D – Procedural Coral Growth using X-Particles and Cycles

在C4D中利用X-Particles 4粒子插件来模拟创意珊瑚生长动画效果，涉及XP粒子的运动图形系统，流体系统的模拟，材质的制作，着色器的使用等

In this tutorial by Bob Walmsley, we’ll recreate the procedural coral growth scene using X-Particles and render it with Cycles 4D inside Cinema 4D.

第一部分知识点：

• Using the Cellular Automata Generator to create the particle growth system
• Implementing particle data mapping to dynamically size our particles
• Integrating our X-Particles system with the Cinema 4D MoGraph system
• Creating an xpExplosiaFX smoke and fire simulation to advect dust particles
• Caching the scene
• Setting up a simple camera move

第二部分知识点：

• Creating custom materials in Cycles 4D
• Using environment and object lighting
• Mixing multiple shaders to create complex looks
• Building and utilizing detailed noise textures to mix materials
• Tapping into particle color data to transition between materials
• Setting up the depth of field and motion blur
