Description:

The Particle_Face_Creator Modifier uses particle positions to hide and reveal mesh geometry. As particles move past the geometry, parts of it melt away and then reappear in a natural-looking sequence. This is a result of the modifier's ability to adjust the geometry in a way that obscures the underlying face topology.

Available in 3ds Max 2014 and higher.
