# PyroCluster and Thinking Particles

Of course PyroCluster can be used seamlessly in conjunction with **Thinking Particles**.

Minimum configuration when using Thinking Particles.

All you have to do is assign the PyroCluster material to the **Thinking Particles’** [**TP geometry**](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/TP_PARTICLEGEOMETRY.html.md).

Once that's done you can begin with animating complex smoke and explosion effects!
