I've already searched, couldn't find appropriate post. 3D Studio Max r5 (with 5.1 upgrade and SP1).

I am using a PArray with object fragments to animate a model shattering, then I use a vortex to make it swirl. I want it to go from the vortex back into the original shape, as if its being poured into a mold. I can't figure out how to do this at all, and I've not found any tutorials on the internet or any similar posts on cgtalk.com

According to my experience, MAX itself can't complete this Mission Impossible :P ,but you could use MAX's plugins, such as "Particle Studio" "Thinking Particle" "Sand Blaster"......... they could easily simulate what you said.

I thought particle studio couldn't handle object fragments?

render it going from the mold into the vortex and reverse the frames in premiere or after effects
