Over 100 Free Particle Flow Presets from Allan McKay
Posted by visualz, 7 June 2011 8:00 pm
For some time now (since the release of 3ds Max 2010), 'Max has shipped with over 100 Particle Flow presets that users can take advantage of for their various project types. These are included with every copy of 3ds Max, however they are not part of a default install. These presets are broken down into four elemental effects for air, earth, fire, water as well as "logo" presets for motion graphics and broadcast designers. Here, we'll take a look at where to find them, how to install them and finally how to access them within 3ds Max.
Visual effects artist and fellow 3ds Max Master, Allan McKay, was contracted to created these Particle Flow presets specifically to ship with 3ds Max. They are a killer starting point for projects, as well as an excellent way for new users to reverse-engineer Particle Flow's event-driven particle system.

I hope you enjoy the presets and please spread the word!
Untill next time,

I had been meaning to do this very thing since these shipped.
It always bothered me that they weren't listed the Preset Flow operator, simply for the fact that I would forget these even existed.

My only question is this....
How do you share those presets or new presets you make over a NetWork?

If in InstallSettings.ini - useUserProfiles set to "0", than You should put presets to
--3dsMaxInstallFolder--\plugcfg\Particle Flow Presets
