I’ll be starting something new here on X. I’ll be sharing and highlighting the work of other artists using Cinema 4D, as well as the tools and software I use in my tutorials and educational content. The goal is simple: to help grow the Cinema 4D @Maxon_Cinema4D @OTOY @insydium_ltd community, support artists, and share knowledge. Honestly, I haven’t received much support myself from Maxon—not even something as simple as a repost. But that’s not my main concern. With the challenges brought by AI, I believe we need to face the future by creating more, sharing more, working harder, and constantly learning. So I hope you’ll participate, support other artists, and avoid this kind of “digital stinginess.” Let’s be more open, supportive, and humble with each other. Let’s grow the community together. Thank you ❤️

NeXus for Blender sand simulation. This uses the SPH liquid solver in Granular mode.

NeXus Flowfield lets you generate and procedurally adjust custom velocity fields in Blender. It's very tactile to mess with and the viewport display is hypnotic. Here, noisy turbulent velocities move particles along the path of a helix spline. #INSYDIUM #Blender #b3d

Using NeXus for Blender to explore some more stylized simulation renders. This one is very simple setup using the LiquidFill tools. BTW - Please feel free to hit me up with any tutorial requests. #Blender #b3d #NeXus #NeXusforBlender

Another wet and dry sand test - this time with some motion inheritance from an animated emitter. Simulated in NeXus for Blender. #INSYDIUM #Blender #b3d
Testing NeXus for Blender's new granular solver. This sim mixes wet and dry sand together by mapping the granular properties to particle color. Darker particles have way more friction, stability and cohesion so stick together in clumps.

NeXus for Blender liquid and white water test. This sim took about 5 mins to set up. The 300 frames were simmed AND rendered in only 15 minutes - pretty wild! #INSYDIUM #Blender #b3dNeXus

No idea about the game I’m afraid, but the motion graphics are ace!
NBA Finals are stirring up, NY up 2-1 going into game 4. Who you taking? Built with @insydium_ltd X-Particles + @rendernetwork Spurs or Knicks - creators always win with Render Network!

Jidou has another great tool called GeoFlow. One of its many functions is to drive Align to Spline animations - totally replaces the good but limited Align to Spline tag in C4D, with loops, animated noise offsets and much more.
One of the newest tools added to @insydium_ltd Fused Collection is Jidou - which is a stack of really cool tools to automate animations and rig things like cameras in C4D in really unqiue and procedural ways. Here's a quick look at how easy it is to set up and use to drive an animated spline for a particle simualtion.

This is brilliant - can’t wait to try it out on some beast-level scenes!
X-Particles just got a bigger playground. With @insydium_ltd Fused tools now supported for Cinema 4D on @rendernetwork artists can build amazing particle driven scenes, motion designs, and complex simulation-based work locally, then push the final render to the network while they keep creating on their own machine.

This week's Top Tip shows how to set up these custom crown splashes in just a few minutes 👇
This week’s Tip uses the updated nxFluids tools to create a detailed crown splash. Use an xpEmitter in Flip mode, shape the effect with the nxSplash modifier & finish with the new GPU nxMesher for a realistic mesh Go on YouTube - youtu.be/S4Bfw_hb9AI #INSYDIUM #NeXus #TopTip

Here's a NeXus fire sim using a spinning spline to sim from. It uses a setting called Motion Gap Fill which avoids stepping in the emission - also makes the motion inheritance from spline to fluid more accurate. Very low-res sim upscaled 4 times to 500m voxels. @insydium_ltd
