Powder Brushes C4D + XP
This is a simple yet cool and powerful way to create powder burst stills in Cinema 4d with X-Particles and the C4D Volume Builder rendered in octane as a VDB with Volume Displacement for smoke (R20+ I believe, I'm using S22/R21)
The scene contains 2 simple brushes with hair brushed into place, a sphere plugged into a volume builder and the magic happens in the octane override, I STRONGLY suggest checking out MotionPunk on Patreon for an incredible break down on this process that you can use for smoke, fog, snow, cool abstract mediums and more. 3 Particle emmiters with X-Particles and a few modifiers to control the particle flow.
All rendered with Octane 2020 and a little motion blur to the particles for a bit of flare.
Project file and renders included. Please reach out with any questions at all!
HDRI's sold separately
Thanks!
Scene file for both iterations and lifelong support!
