Today we’ll be creating this Alien Slime Effect with X Particles Mesh tools in Cinema 4D.
You can download the free project file too and use it in your own motion graphics work. Let me know if you found it useful!

how you move the camera like its handed shot?
I’ve got a tutorial coming very soon on that mate, stay tuned;) you can see exactly how I did this one with the project file from our patron page, use the motion camera;) btw, we’ve just launched a brand new website with loads of cg resources cgshortcuts.com thanks for watching!
I cant find anything you are talking about in cinema 4d. I see a emitter and thats it…no Xp system.
Do you have xparticles installed?
Hello, I’m using X-Particles 2.5 and I don’t see follow surface modifier. Is there a way around this or is it called something else? Thank you.
Hi mate, you may need to upgrade to get this feature unfortunatly;) I plan on doing more XParticles tutes soon too! BTW we also have a fancy new website full of loads of CG Resources if you want to check it out https://www.cgshortcuts.com thanks for watching!

Here a setup I have been struggling with.
I tried a few different ways, see below:
1) I have particles moving over a mesh, constraint with follow surface and leaving spline trails
2) Eventually I want to animate the mesh underneath, a talking and moving character, but I want to stick the trails to the mesh while the trails are being created an while the character is moving around.
– Problem is it needs to be procedural not happen after the splines are all created.
I remember watching this tutorial when it first came out and I didn’t have C4D yet but wanted to get it. I’ve been a year with C4D now, roughly and I just picked up and am learning XP, and now here I am again. 🙂
Thanks for creating and sharing this tutorial with us. A fun thing I did with it, was turn it dark purple and made a creep tumor in the center. Fun idea for anyone that likes StarCraft 2! 🙂
Edit: One issue I ran into, was the Max limit for emission. You put it to 100 but I couldn’t see it there in mine at all, anywhere, so I had to make some adjustments. I ended up doing a Shot for emission and lowered that number, plus the branches really low. I think roughly around 10 and 30’ish, respectively.
