I might be in need of something like this soon and was wondering if Max had anything similar?

If Max does not then what might be the simplest way to do this in max?

I use 3DS Max 2011 and 3DS Max 2012
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E MB, Socket 1366, X58, 6xDDR3, RAID, 3-Way SLI, CrossFire
Processor: Intel Core i7 930 Processor LGA1366 2.8GHz 8MB Cache CPU
Hard Drives: 2 x Samsung 1TB HD103SJ Spinpoint F3
Video:  Nvidia GeForce 460 GTX 1Gb
Operating System: Windows 7
Memory: 2 x Corsair CMX6GX3M3A1600C9 6GB ( 3x XMS3 2GB ) PC-12800 ( 1600MHz ) XMSP DDR3 (so 12GB in total)
Case: Lian Li PC-B10B Black Aluminum Case
Power: Thermaltake Litepower 700W ATX PSU

You could try BlobMesh - Create Panel > Geometry > Compound Objects (from the dropdown list) > BlobMesh.

Seems to use Particle Flows, so any specific questions would probably be better asked in the Particles/Dynamics forum.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

ok cool :)

Thanks Steve :)
