ThinkingParticles 3 is the next generation of rule-based particle systems for Autodesk’s 3ds max professional 3D modeling, rendering and animation software. When compared to an event-based particle system, which works on triggers and time dependent events, a rule-based system is free from constraints and instead applies simple behaviors. These behaviors govern all aspects of a particle’s motion, life, death, and collisions in a true non-linear fashion.

ThinkingParticles 3 offers its particle system functionality through a “programmatic” approach. This approach lets artists use ThinkingParticles 3’s powerful visual Wire Setup Interface to procedurally build the rules and conditions that control the particle behavior. Because of this technology, artists become the ultimate master of particle mayhem.

MatterWaves introduces material mapped particle systems to 3ds max It's a very flexible particle generation method available for 3ds max.

Head Designer for 3ds max is the first, true parametric tool for the creation of humanoid heads within 3ds max. Using the Head Designer, it's possible to create and modify a head within minutes. 45+ parametric controls allow you to adjust the overall head shape, nose, chin, cheeks, eyes, ears and jaw in seconds.
