More particle flow water...using blobmesh

Here is an attempt to create running water similar to that from a tap; again, this was made by playing around with particle flow, this time using the blobmesh setting. I put in a UDeflector on the plane to try and create a 'splash' like effect. Quite pleased with how it turned out.

Next step will be to try and add a puddle, or a bucket slowly filling...

water with particle flow

here are a couple more videos of results with playing about with particle flow to make water, flowing water etc...

Simple rain


Quick, simple waterfall

more particle flow stuff...

a nice effect with text, thought this could maybe used for an intro/credits of an animation etc...would be a little more interesting than flat 2d text.

Going to have a little play around to see what else i can make.

Testing the effects..

just a little quick scene put together to test the recent particle flow effects ive made.

Not sure why, maybe it was the slowish computer but this was an absolute beast to render!

Particle flow tests

Been having a play around with the particle flow features in 3ds max over the xmas holiday. Pretty cool stuff...i reckon you could make some interesting stuff with it. Heres some of the stuff ive made so far...

Fire Effect


Lightning type effect


Quick explosion test


Simple box explosion
