Import an example nParticle scene

Import an example nParticle simulation into your scene to explore how nParticles work and learn how to create your own effects, or modify them to customize the effects.

To import an nParticle example file

  1. In the FX menu set, select nParticles > Get nParticle Example.

    The Content Browser appears with the nParticle Examples tab selected.

  2. Select the icon for the nParticle example file you want to use and middle-drag it into the scene.

    The nParticle example opens in Maya.

    You can now use the example file as a starting point for your own nParticle effects.

    You can also use Effects Assets to create a number of preset nParticle effects. See Effects Assets.
