XP Sand (VIDEO TUTORIAL)
Added 2021-02-01 20:45:40 +0000 UTCHi,
New tutorial for February.
Fine sand with xparticles and octane look development. As usual feel free to ask me anything :)
Cheers!

Thanks! Mmm this tutorial is a bit dated as I wouldnt use fluidfx at this point but nexus fluids (sph) with granular mode on. Do you know how to do that? Let me know if you need help! cheers

2023-01-14 19:17:57 +0000 UTCHey Thanos. I have a question. How are the cube sizes getting randomized, since all cubes are of same size. The Octane object randomizes or the Forester plugin does it? I don't have Forester plugin so would not know. Thanks.

2023-01-14 13:30:24 +0000 UTCRF is a shitty plugin honestly haha. Very bad support while the algorithm is pretty good actually but they dont care. I doubt they still update it other than versioning. Cant wait for xp GPU (this month probably?) to see if its a better solution. Krakatoa is all about rendering doesnt contribute in other ways and its mostly for sand stuff where u need to multiply to millions of small particles. It' s not renderable in octane, it has its own render engine.

2022-07-07 10:22:45 +0000 UTCLooking back at this tutorial you mention the issue you had with realflow and getting it to handle a mesh or particle objects even though it had a better simulation. I'm thinking you could use Krakatoa in cinema4D to render the particles. I've seen a video of snow done with realflow rendered with krakatoa in cinema4d and it looked good. Just a thought.

2022-07-07 10:14:16 +0000 UTChey hey! mmm not sure how that looks, but be sure to have the same settings (check also scene file). Imo my sand seems watery as well haha. I think xp struggle big time with their solvers for now. My problem in the video is the stability as u see particles are jittering on the ground and this is not something that should happen when set to hexagonal mode and definitely not with this small amount of particles. I may suggest to increase ur friction and maybe introduce a drag modifier as well. Again this comes to a lot of trial and error as u probably aware and with xp this take quite some time :)

2022-02-23 11:23:58 +0000 UTCthanks for that wonderful tutorial I am facing one issue after all the sim I've made when my object is rising from the sand it's not given me an actually sand kind feel its more like a watery surface waviness happening after the object passes through it how I can get rid of that watery surface feel and get some sand feel. thanks

2021-05-23 20:43:03 +0000 UTCReally nice tips about using small cubes as particles! Great tutorial, thanks! :D

2021-05-18 00:33:50 +0000 UTCcheck out the project file i dont remember by heart :) but usually i go for eg. if a cube is 1 i ll go by +/- 1 as well. the full variation is really important to breakup the pattern! If octane allowed also group distribution this would be even better i ll explain this at another time

2021-04-29 17:38:27 +0000 UTCI was just wondering how different the size variations are of the cubes you used for the sand? And how large is the largest cube? Just wondering.

2021-04-15 22:56:12 +0000 UTCI can't increase live particles. please tech me

2021-04-15 22:52:08 +0000 UTCAmazing as always. But Once I Add xpFluidFX suddenly simulation is starting to force upword any solution ?

2021-02-26 06:30:48 +0000 UTCHello, it shouldnt move if u let it rest. In my example I just dont :) I immediately start to simulate.

2021-02-05 09:43:21 +0000 UTCHi Thanos! Very nice settings, I finally figured out what i was doing wrong this whole time. I was wondering: would you think of a way to keep the sand from moving all the time when it's not supposed to be affected by the sim? Like on the edges. Maybe a drag modifier?
