What features or controls would you prioritize for rendering native C4D Particles?

Corona Corona for Cinema 4D Feature Requests

Hi all!

As you’ll recall, we introduced the very basics of rendering native C4D Particles in Corona 15, with the request that you let us know which features/controls you would need the most so that we can turn it into something useful.

This is because implementing “everything” would take longer than one release cycle, so we want to do the things that are most important to you first. If you would, please reply to this thread with what you want working first (and with some order of priority if you have more than one thing you’d really like to see :slight_smile: )

For instance - particle rendering working with motion blur; particle color changing with particle age (you can provide info on what kind of controls you would want to have for that); and so on.

Thank you for your time! And we look forward to particle rendering being actually useful in Corona 16 later this year! Thanks!

Hey Tom!
Personally I think that motion blur working with particles is the main thing to prioritize. Even tweaking the particle material would be mandatory imho (reflection IOR, roughness, metalness and so on).

The next thing would be the possibility to use objects as particles, like in Redshift or Octane.

The color changing feature that changes according to velocity, birth/death and so on is cool but not as important as the stuff listed above imho.

Thank you!

Perfect, and thank you! This is the kind of feedback we need :slight_smile: And of course others are welcome to add what they would prefer (whether it’s the same or different, and we’ll try to balance everything lol!)
