]]> Bob from INSYDIUM has a great tip for using NxQuestion in INSYDIUM Nexus, a tool included in INSYDIUM FUSED, to create an attractive Particle Neighbor Spawn.

In the tutorial, he uses an nxQuestion rig to spawn particles, the number of spawned particles correlates to the number of neighbor particles. He adds a second neighbor spawning question, creating a self-feeding system, which grows networks of spawned particles. A third nxQuestion prevents particles from escaping the object volume. Finally, he adds other NeXus modifiers to create a gorgeous, deceptively simple animation!

Happy Independence Day, America! Our annual fireworks article was originally published in July 2015, and we’ve updated the article annually with explosive new goodies. This year, we gave it a total overhaul!

Some Breathtaking Fireworks Examples

Let’s be honest… fireworks on video are not usually too interesting. They lack the excitement and sensory stimulation of being there in person. Until smell-o-vision is a reality in your VR headset, you’ll have to light a match and imagine the smell of sulfur smoke.

We’ve found some visually breathtaking examples so when creating your digital fireworks, it’s important to look at examples to match the look for realism.

Fireworks Tutorials

Fireworks can be created using a particle generator, taking time to get the physics right. To make things easier, multiple plug-ins are specifically for creating fireworks. That said, they don’t always look natural. One of the toughest things about creating fireworks is getting them to look realistic. They need glow, smoke, the proper physics, depth of field, etc. And, adding some sound effects can help your fireworks come to life!
