Autodesk announced Extentions | PFlow Box3
Free for all Subscription customers. 3ds max get mParticles(PFlow Box3) included. With this toolkit you can create nearly everything that was imposible before. You get also the great new cacheing system. This is the biggest advantage for me. Now you can cache each frame to a seperate file. This helps a lot for rendering on farms and also for preview purposes.
It will be available in late september.
What the other Tools get? Read the offical Press Release.
Never seen PFlow Box3? Check here some tests created with the help of Box 2 and Box 3 by Matthias Müller.
