Sub-Frame Emission with Thinking Particles

Posted in Cinema4D Thinking Particles, Cinema4D Xpresso on November 4th, 2011 by Tim

Here’s another little tip for working with Cinema4D, specifically Thinking Particles. I offer up a solution to what appears to be quite a common problem with TP and hopefully this small tutorial will stop a lot of head scratching.

This time around, I show you a simple technique you can use to stop the pulsing you sometimes see with Thinking Particles when your emitter is moving too fast and you get those big lumps of particles emitted on every frame rather than a nice smooth emission..  Yes – you guessed it, this is sub-frame particle emission.

Of course this tutorial doesn’t cover many of the different ways that you can emit particles using TP but hopefully it gives you some idea of a solution that you can adapt to your own TP scenes.
