GreyScaleGorilla presenta a series of tutorials by Chris Schmidt to show you how to set-up and use thinking particles for Cinema 4D.

Thinking Particles is a powerful particle system inside of Cinema 4D.

However, it seems not to be used as much as it should because it requires Xpresso.

Luckily, Chris is here to demystify Thinking Particles a bit and show you how to harness it’s power.
