Electric Flow – Powered by X-Particles
This animation was all about capturing the energy of an electric vehicle brand—literally. I wanted the visuals to feel charged, alive, and always in motion. To make that happen, I turned to X-Particles in Cinema 4D and built a custom electric effect that arced, pulsed, and danced across the scene.
X-Particles gave me the control I needed to shape particle trails, sparks, turbulence, and light bursts—but getting it to look natural took some serious trial and error. I spent a lot of time dialing in emitter settings, modifiers, and motion dynamics until it finally felt like controlled chaos—the kind of energy you'd associate with cutting-edge EV tech.
Once I had the simulation right, I brought it all into Octane to render with glowing materials, reflections, and cinematic lighting to really sell the “high voltage” vibe. The end result? An abstract-but-branded animation that sparks with movement and feels like it’s humming with power.
