Snow piling up!
Hi guys,
Since I've been away for long, I want to contribute something, to spring back in the community ![]() So, this is not going to shake your world, but it is damn usefull (it was to me, at least ![]() ![]() The effect uses a nice, small, neat flow - check it out ![]() http://cravenous.com/snow_pile_up.max And now to something completely different ![]() Pavel Kuznetsov's trail: http://www.lastjedioutpost.ru/Plug-...Description.htm It is a trail generator, works in render post (like scanline glow, fog, etc) and generates quite customizable particle trails. Looks great! And the footools Force Viewer, visualizes a spacewarp by drawing vectors in the viewport! Now how cool is that! http://www.footools.com/3dsmax_plugins.html Keep rockin' dudes, love ya! |

I have used both but not nice since the migration to nine...and to be honest I completely forgot about 'um, great head check, thanks Glacierise!
Nice, both updated for max9 that is great. Edit: had a minute to mess around, that's a pretty cool flow, would like to boost up the particle count, but i'll have to wait till I get back too work, thanks for sharing ![]() __________________

Have in mind that if you want to make a more detailed effect, you will need to decrease the keep apart radius, as you increase the particle count. I alse forgot to mention that this flow should be passed to a wrapper (blobmesh or pwrapper), to create the snow surface

cool system!
Do I understand this right? The particles stop after they colide or get too slow. The keepapart does the piling? Georg __________________

Glad you like it
![]() It works like this: when the particle falls, it eventually comes within the keep apart radius of a 'pile' particle, or hits the ground. If it hiths the ground, it becomes a 'pile' particle. If it comes within the keep apart radius, the KA applies a force to it, which slows its fall. When its speed falls below a threshold, it also becomes a 'pile' particle. Works great ![]() |

.TK domain?! What the ***k are you talkin' about, dude
![]() Anyways: http://www.lastjedioutpost.ru/Plug-...s/Ky_Trail7.zip (the max 6-8 version) http://www.lastjedioutpost.ru/Plug-...s/Ky_Trail9.zip (the max 9 version) This should be kind of foolproof ![]() ![]() |

It works fine with max9 here, but it's obviously not a max8 file.
