Unfortunately no. Maxon doesnt give API access to Insydium on purpose..

Luke

Does this work with Xparticles? And are we able to use Pyro with Xparticles like we would with TFD & XP?

Thanos Kagkalos

thanks! hmm sounds like a bug? i guess baking alembic is the solution and add the vertex map there. Tired of these workarounds haha

Neat tutorial! One thing that I couldn't fix: as soon as I cache the cloth, the vertex color tag becomes unusable. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

Mikhail

Perfecto!

Thanos Kagkalos

haha you know how it is! you spend hours/days revisiting setups, optimising and when you feel ready and confident.. things just break lol

Spenser Clark

This is pretty slick!!! - the separation of simulations is definitely more flexible - still wild how convoluted Maxon has made simple advection yet in the new particle system they give us an advection modifier haha... That bug at the end though was wild I expect nothing less though lol

No you're good - i think that's probably obvious enough that most people will just catch that. Thanks Thanos!

Thanos Kagkalos

ah yes, without info on cloner, no info to pass around! I hope i didnt miss explaining this part on my end

Jess (virtuallyvisual)

Found my issue - you have a random field in your scene driving the color on the cloth clones; without that, the vertex color map doesn't show any variation. Probably a really obvious thing - but I missed it haha. Thanks Thanos!

Jess (virtuallyvisual)

Gotcha. Weird. I'm using planes in a cloner like you showed; maybe I just skipped over something accidentally. Thank you for the insight!

Thanos Kagkalos

Mmm no but it only works on geometry. If you are trying this with splines is not possible -needs a workaround which is not procedural any more

Jess (virtuallyvisual)

Thanos - this is so fun; i've been experimenting today. One thing i'm curious on - when I drag my cloner into the vertex color, it doesnt assign random colors to the clones. They're all just one shade of white. Did you do anything specific to other areas of the scene, or settings, to make that possible?
