Particle Flow - Quick Navigation

Description:

The mP_Force operator accepts any force-type particle space warp as a force source. The force is applied to all particles in the current event that are affected by an mP_World operator.

Available in 3ds Max 2014 and higher.

Constructors:

mP_Force...
PhysXForce...

Properties:

Parameters rollout
