In this video we’ll take a look at two different topics introducing this new series related to particles. First excercise will be really simple.. We’ll use PFlow to simulate a complex abstract structure created with tiny boxes, in this way using a boxed emitter and a procedural map, we’ll simulate a volume made of little geometric voxel units as you can see in the tutorial sample image.

We are proud and excited to offer our second set of training material for Thinking Particles. The first set was the ~120 videos recently posted by Cebas on YouTube for TP 3.0 (also applicable to TP 4.0). "TP4 for Production 1.0" builds on those videos and dives into deeper basics, advanced topics and everyday production matters, especially the new TP 4.0 features, and includes over 27 hours of material.

In this DVD Hristo Velev starts from the very beginning by explaining what Thinking Particles actually is and then begins to build upon a solid foundation of theory and technical knowledge of the program. From there Hristo goes through an extensive set of basic concepts to guide you through the massive amount of features in TP4. During that time he creates several practical effects that are very useful in production. After the basic concepts are covered he then goes through creating an entire project from start to finish to help you understand the entire process. With over 9 hours of training this DVD will help you understand Thinking Particles and start creating amazing effects.

In this DVD Hristo Velev takes up from Part 1 in this series, to go deeper into the intermediate concepts of Thinking Particles. Everything from Raycasting, Referencing, Motion Inheritance, Generation, Driving Scene Objects, Shape Collision, Fragmentation, Caching, Joints, PhysX Dynamics, Deformation, Displacement, Map-Based Interaction, Particle Interaction, Custom Data Streams, FumeFX Interaction, and more are fully explored in this DVD. This DVD is perfect for those who want to learn more about Thinking Particles and why many studios are using it in production today.

Easily learn the intuitive particle system within XSI with 3.5 hours of project-driven training. Ideal for beginner to intermediate users.
