There's a sphere C4D hand at Atomic-3D

I think you misunderstood,

I have made my model already, but as it is walking I want it to colapse into lots of tiny spheres should I be using thinking particles or is there a simpler solution?

Thanks for trying

i guess you might be able to do it with a hypernurbed explosionFX deformer

Hi,
you can do this with Thinking Particles and the PVolume Position node to place the particles within a geometry.

couple of things about this:

first off unless its extremely low poly you're gonna have problems with the amount of scene polys...unless you drop the settings on the spheres to render perfect and then drop the rest.

you need some amount of subdivision otherwise you won't get the detailling...your models topology will be important to the final look imo. would be nice to scale the spheres according to poly size also.

jenna/ditools/placeonpoints etc could do a nice job of placing the spheres on the model.

i would think a tp/xpresso route would probably be the best route to go though.

also something like stormtracer would eat something like this for breakfast as it can handle the amounts...just a thought.

Thanks for your replys guys, any tutorials for the thinking particles route?



Cheers
