2. © 2012 Autodesk Class Summary Many architectural structures incorporate a water feature as a prominent visual component of the structure. This exciting class explains how to implement 3ds Max Particle Flow for architectural use. This class takes you through the creating water fountains, waterfalls, and other water features architects like to use. We will cover creating particle flow networks to simulate water flow and using space warps to affect the motion of the particles. We will also cover the point cache and particle rendering.
