(Fewer particles are better.) But by the developer’s own admission, this isn’t Navié Effex or RealFlow it’s a fun way to generate liquid movement and create basic fluid-type effects. The fluid system works well, although the Skinner object does tend to err on the blobby side. The fluid system allows you to make the particles move as if part of a flowing substance, splashing and coalescing in a realistic fashion, and the Skinner object can then used to mesh the particles into a continuous surface. Owners of the Pro system are treated to the first version of X-Particle’s fluid dynamics system, which allows you to make basic liquids and multi-physics simulations – if you’ve ever eyed up Softimage’s Lagoa plug-in, you’ll know what I mean. However, it can also connect particles using different algorithms, creating complex networks of splines that are ideal for cyberspace data, chemical sequences, or funky mograph scenes. This generates splines and is compatible with the Hair and Sketch and Toon shaders for some truly unique effects.

A really cool addition is the Trail object. It may not actually be infinite, but it’s close enough. Given that you can stack multiple Questions and Actions, you have a practically limitless amount of possibilities.

There are 22 Question parameters, each with several Modes, and 28 Actions with numerous options. You can then apply an Action to the selected particles, modifying their form, colour, path and behaviour.

X-Particles’ Question and Action system provides more precise control by evaluating the simulation and locating any particles that fulfil certain criteria – particle age, distance travelled, collision status, index and so on. But if you add the Skinner object, suddenly they look like melting ice cream The Dynamics option lets you create dry, crumbling materials.
