Tactile Tension
Soft-body physics · Glitter simulation
A deep dive into the macro world from my 2026 reel, exploring soft-body physics and high-grain glitter simulations.
SOFTWARE Cinema 4D · X-Particles · Redshift
A behind-the-scenes look at a shot from my latest showreel. It was a test in balancing soft-body physics with high-density particle simulations.
One of the challenges was making the glittering sand respond naturally to the pressure of the spheres. To solve it, I built a setup that combines X-Particles with Cinema 4D's native tools, allowing micro-collisions while keeping the shimmer in the final Redshift render.
Seeing the clay version next to the final output reminds me why I love this medium: it blends physics and art.
