Might help if we knew what version of Max you were using. Max 6 and 7 come standard with Pflow; Max 5 Pflow came as an installable upgrade. Regardless you can access to the pf source in your particle rollout. Or you can use the default hotkey which is "6" to open your particle view and you can access all PFlow has to offer through that. :) When in doubt always refer to the Max User reference; always a great starting point.


hope this helps

no offense, but if you are new enough to 3ds max to need help creating a particle system, teh last thing you need to be doing is messing around with particle flow.

take some time and go through the tutorials (F1) before you go any further.

And when you are ready, maybe think about buying these DVDs, they may be just what you need.
