@BobWalmsley @BobWalmsley oh stop you'll make me blush

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley Awesome, is it nice and responsive? Can't wait to play round with GPU driven flow fields

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@RaphaelRau This was made for you

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@mikebatchelor54 @insydium_ltd @Blender No wayyy

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@insydium_ltd No small feat! Bravo guys.

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@blueskiesspace Congratulations @blueskiesspace and Mauve!

Under the hood of every gaussian splat lives a point cloud - what this mean is we can do some really cool things!

With points and particles being so relative - you can actually treat them as if they were the same. Here we're using @insydium_ltd X-Particles to drive a nexus particle simulation from the millions of splat points directly.

This opens the doors to tons of creative opportunities for splats via XP with the full stack of modifiers and controls to take your splat assets to the next level!

@SpenserFX @marcoleone_xyz @OTOY I appended, but I think in doing so lost the ability to refresh my Unlocks which now remain at 0. I set up a second PC for network rendering earlier in the year and burned through my Unlocks quickly whilst testing.

Unless they refresh when my new sub kicks in

@RaphaelRau Ha, I was watching your C4D > Blender video last night. Great timing! I'm looking forward to seeing how DLSS feels in the viewpoint

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley @insydium_ltd Damn @BobWalmsley that's looking spectacular. Very excited to see the tools in action

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@mikebatchelor54 Wow beautiful @mikebatchelor54

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley @insydium_ltd That's some serious goop @BobWalmsley!

[Bob Walmsley @BobWalmsley]

Sand dissolve with 6 million particles. This uses the toolset from the current release build of X-Particles and NeXus - no new or experimental features in this one. @insydium_ltd

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@RaphaelRau You're absolutely crazy, this is project documentation at its finest!

[Bob Walmsley @BobWalmsley]

This week's X-Particles top tip explains how to sim a mix of granular and liquid fluids with NeXus - https://t.co/PWtrmHxyAe Here's a 13 million particle example. @insydium_ltd

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley Poor guy obliterated at 300fps! Awesome sim and render

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley @insydium_ltd Whooping sim Bob! I'd you get a chance I'd love to know a few things, like the particle radius (in hex emission mode I assume?) and details of the nxFluids set-up you went with - iterations, friction and so on.

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

Have fun! They've been killing it over the past few months (not that they weren't already!)

[Chad Ashley @cgpov]

Just landed in Dallas for the @AlreadyBnChewed party! Def gonna get some Texas BBQ.

[Jamie Powell @SpaceLaser_]

@BobWalmsley @insydium_ltd Wow this is super realistic, fantastic motion!
