  You're very welcome, resort-sand.

  I just after posting saw your answer, I had already set this up, then I had to join a meeting. Sounds great 🙂
  I will share my prepared post anyway.

  The simplest way is just a Data mapper, lifetime to Radius. But that is not along your requests, as it sets the fade in, fade out to various lenght, if the life time varies. An exact frame number for all individual particles is not given. If that is not a problem, here is the simplest way.
  I left an alternative in it, with a ramp.
  CV4_2026_drs_26_PAdm_01.c4d

  The beginning is simpler, as all particles start with the first frame; they are "born" and age from there.

  To keep it simple, that can be done with a Condition.

  Example:
  CV4_2026_drs_26_PAst_03.c4d

  When the growth period is over, it gets moved to the next one, which is the same as the one above, discussed with the problem of variance regarding lifetime.

  Is this working for you?

  Cheers

  Hi normal-middle,

  I went through this forum, and noticed that it was not a Tutorial Suggestion (as in -please make one), you used this forum to get Suggestions.

  Is that theme current for you?

  All the best

  Hi task-reflection,

  Then I hope Insydium LTD has informed Maxon Tech Support. I fear they didn't, as I couldn't find any entry for 2026.0 with the term 'xpExplosiaFX', nor any recent entry for 2025.x

  I'm not even supposed to handle Tech Support questions, especially those that require developer attention.

  For over a year, I haven't received a single XP question here so that I couldn't justify the maintenance cost anymore. Insydium doesn't support people running a forum, as far as I am aware. In short, I'm sorry, I have no option but to confirm this problem.

  Please check directly with Tech Support.

  Hi carpet-hang,

  Were you able to clear that?

  Sorry, I have no insight in the option of renewal.

  If the ticket you opened did not create a solution, I will check what I can do.

  All the best
