PYROCLUSTER
INTRODUCTION 1
PyroCluster is a module for CINEMA 4D that provides a powerful toolset for creating
such effects as realistic clouds, haze, fire and smoke. With PyroCluster, in a single
module you have literally an unlimited number of volume effects.
module you have literally an unlimited number of volume effects.
PyroCluster effects are real 3D effects that will work with any CINEMA 4D-compatible
particle system. Spectacular PyroCluster effects can be combined with, for example,
the powerful animation features of the optional Thinking Particles module.

PyroCluster is fully compatible with the optional Thinking Particles module;
see your Thinking Particles manual for an example of how to combine these
two particle modules. For more information on Thinking Particles, please

All effects are based on particles; each particle becomes a ‘puff’ and is rendered as a
real volumetric effect. A particle’s color can be determined by its age and a gradient
controller. This makes it easy, for example, to create white smoke at the beginning
and a dark oily smoke at the end of the particle’s life span.

An unlimited number of
spectacular volume effects
are possible with PyroCluster,
including (but not limited to)
vapory effects, solid rock effects
and pyroclastic effects.
To guarantee a flawless integration into CINEMA 4D, many new programming
techniques have been developed. One of the amazing new technologies, developed
exclusively for the CINEMA 4D PyroCluster module, is the centralized atmospheric
tracer engine. This technology makes it possible to mix multiple volumetric effects in
a scene. Volume lights and PyroCluster effects will automatically combine correctly,
even casting volumetric shadows – indeed, PyroCluster supports shadow casting
with any light source.
