    Adding ICE Effects Using Softimage

    Typical workflow for adding ICE effects:

    Exchanging data with Softimage is intended primarily for adding ICE effects such as particle systems to 3ds Max scenes.

    1. Create your scene in 3ds Max.
    2. Send your scene to Softimage and add the ICE effects.
    3. Send your scene back to 3ds Max for further tweaking.

      The ICE effect from Softimage is converted to a Particle Flow particle system that uses a special Birth File operator.
