Powder Blast

[stezza]

Hi guys loving the Phoenix FD trial, its looking great and easy ish to use.

We need some advice on trying to obtain the effect of a powder blast very much like in this example.

Can anyone give a few tips on what settings would most likely get this result and what would be the best setup?

Thanks for your help

Hey,

Otherwise, looks like a particle system, selected in a Phoenix source and using animated discharge, like in this setup: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...s-RGBExplosion, combined with RGB channel simulation like this: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...+RGB+Workflows

Hope this helps!

Thats a great help and a good starting point really appreciate your pointers. We need to get a granular particle and less smoke. I assume this technique transfers over to Maya setup.

Cheers

Ah, yes - you can use nParticles as emitters in the Phoenix Source, and you can adjust and animate the smoke amount and emission strength.

You can check a sample setup for Maya in the attached file.
