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 morph target percentage based on particle distance. As a practical example this more advanced tutorial sets up a fort with guards that duck down as arrows approach blending from one morph target to another. The bonus scenes cover approaching boulders and bend angle breaking triggers.
