The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial shows how to use a particle system to control another particle system. This is a neat way to control bird flocking for example by just using very few particles. This can be used for some sophisticated nanomite […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. Learn how to manipulate modifiers in 3dsmax through particle data. With shape control and object parameter sub operators you can read data from a max modifier and in reverse put values out of Box#3 into a modifier like a […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial teaches how to set up an animated collision object without mParticles (former Toolbox#2). The old legacy UDeflector will only detect an animated shape at it’s state of impact and not update the animation of the shape to […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. Learn how to influence values of your particles like size by distance to other objects or helpers. Normalize the values for smooth animated growth e.g. The video is 7 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV format and the download features […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial goes over how to use Box#3 with legacy forces in PFlow. et the forces influence your particles by Size and other parameters. Great trick to add randomness and variety to a wind e.g. or blow small leaves […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial teaches how to recreate basic features of the Lock/Bond test in PFlow. This stripped version is much faster and faster then the old position object operator. The video is 4 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV format and […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial shows you how to align shapes to other objects by normals, etc. This technique is much faster then speed by surface and rotation combo hacks in “vanilla” pflow. The video is 4 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial goes over a very powerful sub operator called “Random”. Learn your KunFu with Random which allows you to add randomization to any value but it’s true power is the 3d random noise for advanced random positioning on […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial goes over a very powerful sub operator called “Pipe”. With piping you can guide whole data stream a different way set up effects in one data operator and expose drop down menues to the UI to switch […]

The formerly known PFlow Toolbox#3 is now integrated into 3dsmax 2014 and called “Advanced Data Manipulation”. This tutorial will show you how to let particles revolve around surfaces for very stylized tornado type effects. The video is 13 minutes long in 1280×720 WMV format and the download features the start and final setups, as well […]
