Cebas ThinkingParticles 4.0 for 3ds Max 2010/2011 x86 | 35 Mb
ThinkingParticles™ 4.0 is the next generation rule based particle system for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design,offering unparalleled power to the user. thinkingParticles in its latest incarnation, Release 4, (R4) redefines Fluid, Rigid Body and Particle F/X simulation in a whole newway.
The advantage thinkingParticles delivers over event-based particle systems, (which works on triggers and time dependent events) made it the #1 choice of UncharteredTerritory for creating Fluid, Rigid Body Dynamics and Particle Effects for their movie production of "2012." thinkingParticles was the key production toolresponsible for driving the most prominent special effects in the movie "2012". Our latest additions to the software made it so powerful, it actually rendered theneed for practical effects to zero!! We trust, that you will find, by using thinkingParticles 4.0, that you will be able to create all the incredible effects that you havealways wanted to create, but until now, have not been able to, due to the limitation of existing technologies.
Sam Khorshid a professional Digital Artist, who worked atUncharted Territory in the making of Roland Emerich's latest movie, "2012" says:
Due to the sheer number of dynamic, interacting systems, we needed aprocedural solution. This show was too complex for each artist to work on a shot level. Thinking particles R4 was the right fit for this task. The basis for our destructionpipeline was TP4's integrated dynamics (shape collision) and rule based workflow, coupled with finalRender's fantastic instancing ability. volumeBreaker too, wasspecifically developed for "2012" along with a new robust joint system, layered caching with retiming functionality and new mesh handling tools for ingestingcomplex buildings into particle systems. What these new innovations enabled, was the creation of a world that dynamicly interacts with all of its elements: buildingsreacting to earth upheavel, cars reacting to falling debris, everything interconnected.
The real power of thinkingParticles comes from its unlimited combination ofconditions and operators that define the behavior of each single particle, in a particle system. As a programming language offers all the freedom and power to a programmer,so thinkingParticles offers the same unlimited power to the 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design artist.
What's the real deal with thinkingParticles ?
thinkingParticles offersits particle system functionality through a kind of programming approach. However, unlike programming, you won't have to write a single line of code! A powerful visual"Wire Setup Interface" enables any 3ds Max artist to define the rules and conditions that control the particle behavior. Because it is a "program" thatcontrols the particles and their behavior, you will find that there is no limit to what you can do! Nearly every particle effect can be created or controlled through a setof operators and conditions.
Rule-based Versus Event-driven Particle Systems
Where does thinkingParticles stand? The difference between event-driven particles and rule-basedparticles can be summed up quite simply. An event-driven particle system usually works, based on "triggers" or events that must happen to activate an effect. Thisimplies some kind of key frame related effects while thinkingParticles is totally independent of any timing and key framing!
thinkingParticles offers true Non LinearAnimation technology. Rules and conditions control the particle effects, and not timers or events, that happen at certain key frames in an animation. A particle systemcreated with thinkingParticles will always work, regardless of the timing or number of frames that may change in an animation.
