Here is what i rendered so far.
I've done many more things, but i have to render it to show them.

These one are mainly made with POP Networks, using conditional & cosine expressions, with some gravity & an attractor.

Hope you'll like it.

Nice work man

Can you post a hip file to see how it done…

It is not really the final one used for render, as i change some minor params to render on my ubuntu workstation. I make hips on my macbook pro.
Here is the one from my laptop :

Hope you'll understand most of the tricks, as most of them are driven by custom attributes using trigonometric functions :-)
If you have any question just PM.

Great work , certainly looks interesting

and keep 'em coming. Very Happy

Thx.

Now more learn & research.
A test, doing mesh deforming driven by particle collision.
POP location again driven by simple sine/cosine functions
Not a final render, only a flipbook by now…

Where did I see that sign ? ;-)

Nice work again

Fracture model using blender.
Activation using POP/Copy+Stamp,etc…

another try…

Nice work!

I would imagine that a shattered (floor?) would have nice chamfered/beveled edges though

Keep them coming, I really dig those tired particles, very sweet!

please, i'd love to see the hip file on the TIRED PARTICLES. that one is sweet!

yeah man .. great work!! i would like to see the Tired Particles hip file too and also the Fracture one ….plszzzzzzzz!!!
