mParticle 101 - 3DS Max 2014 Tutorial. Level: Intermediate

[@gray2k1]

This is a remarkable overview of mparticles, I learnt a lot and feel much more in control of them. Thanks for such a great tutorial.

[@stranger8791]

Very very cool, thank you very much for taking the time for making this tutorials, they're pure gold to take the first steps with mparticles. Hope you can find both time and will to keep making them.

Man! Still learning how you automated the mParticle skinning process so you didn't have to individually skin each particle on that music vid! Kevin your'e awesome -.-!

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it, I started a little on the automated script again to hand it out to the community but its very time consuming and have not had time to finish it. But soon!

[@JamesRumas3DArtist]

Great tutorials. Really appreciate you taking the time to help others out!

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

KevinHarper3DArtist Quick question. I modelled some text and applied the shell modifier to the element faces (like you did with the car for the birth group). The problem is that I created it from the top view and rotated it 90 degrees before applying it to the birth group - now my particles are birthed with the wrong rotation. Is it possible to adjust the particle's starting orientation?

[@JamesRumas3DArtist]

J.R | C.G I just saw that you can add a rotation modifier to the particle stack (answering my own previous question lol). But now when I tick the "seperate particles for object elements" box the entire model is generated off axis by 90 degrees...

Hey Leo, you have to be more specific, Can you attach mParticles to mCloth mesh? Yes. Can you create particles that are controlled by mCloth? kinda, I mean you would then not really use any of the mParticle features but only use particles to placement then bake it down to mesh and then have mCloth take over but you would lose all control and each paper would need its own mcloth system b/c mCloth is not very good with a mesh that is not attached.

Nice tutorial, but I still feel like mparticles are a really inferior way to simulate softbody simulations (compare it to like realflow). Like honestly, compare it to other programs and the results you get are so bad. Would you not agree? I don't think anyone in their right mind would use mparticles for anything other than something very simple.

Thanx alot I just started to learn mparticales and ur videos are amaizing Keep it up (:

[@uchiharuin]

is there a way to integrate the mparticles with mcloth?

[@Dephunkt01]

Excellent tutorials, really good teacher =).

[@halamato]

that concave hull (aka convex) thing drives me crazy whilst watching but other than that its a perfect video thanks!!!

[@uchiharuin]

i mean, after the mparticle breaks off, mcloth will start to simulate, like a tearing skin or clothes.

[@petethechin]

Very informative, thanks dude!

Hey,Kevin Harper you of tutorials Very Good Here, I would like to get more information on M particls tutorial I hope you can record a high-level data flow tutorial (Particle Flow 2014 Data operations Tutorials)

wow that cool ihope we see more thank you

[@RadekMichalik]

Awesome. Cheers.
