Insydium doesn’t put a figure on the speed boost, but in the teaser video, simulations are visibly faster when running on the GPU, with users able to interact with at least simple systems in the viewport in real time. The main benefit over their CPU-based equivalents in X-Particles is “massive speed improvements”. NxFluids includes both PBD (Position Based Dynamics) and SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) solvers, the latter capable of granular fluid as well as liquid simulations. The new toolset, available separately from X-Particles itself, includes three GPU-based solvers, nxFluids, nxFoam and nxConstraints – not surprisingly, for liquids, foam and simulation constraints. With NeXus, Insydium has begun to move those tools to the GPU, with the firm describing it as “the first wave of cross-platform GPU-powered X-Particles tools”. NeXus: a new wave of GPU-accelerated particle tools for Cinema 4D X-Particles: a versatile particle-based simulation tool for motion graphics and VFX workįirst released a decade ago, X-Particles has become an essential part of many Cinema 4D artists’ tookits, for creating complex effects for motion graphics and visual effects work.īeginning as a pure particle effects plugin, its feature set has steadily broadened to encompass a range of particle-based simulations, and now includes smoke, fire, liquid, granular fluid, cloth and dynamics toolsets. It is available as part of Insydium’s Fused product collection. Insydium has unveiled NeXus, its new GPU-accelerated particle simulation system for Cinema 4D.Īn evolution of the functionality of X-Particles, the firm’s particle-based multiphysics plugin, NeXus is described as “the first wave of cross-platform GPU-powered X-Particles tools” Originally posted on 17 September 2022, and updated with details of the commercial release. NeXus, Insydium’s GPU-accelerated particle simulation system for Cinema 4D, shown running on a high-end Windows desktop with a 16-core Core Intel i9-12900KS CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU.
