Elevate Your Particle Game with Nodes (2/4) – Create with Maxon

In the second livestream of our “Unlocking Nodes Magic in Cinema 4D” series, 3D Artist Dominik Ruckli (@realruckli) is going to show you an advanced Particle Nodes Modifier setup. You will learn how to create your own Push Apart modifier and how to create a mesh points attractor modifier. Dominik is also going to show some great examples of what you can do with these techniques.
