Top Tip Tuesday - Particle Spinning

Top Tip Tuesday this week explores adding data-mapped spinning to a particle simulation to fake the rotation and rolling of dynamic objects in X-Particles.

First, we add random birth rotations to the particles using the emitter’s Extended Data settings. Next, we introduce random spin so the particles’ rotation animates over time, bringing extra life to your simulations. Finally, we data map the random spin to the particle speed, ensuring that when particles come to a stop, they stop spinning, and when they move again, the spin resumes.

This creates the illusion of particles rolling naturally as they move through your scene, giving you a lightweight, flexible workflow ready for stylized motion graphics and render pipelines.
