TUTORIALS:EFFECTS



Please download Java(tm).  
Tire Blowout with Reactor
In this tutorial you'll use Reactor cloth to simulate a car tire blow out. This is a very simple example but could be applied to another scene with real objects. This tutorial was written with 3ds max 5 but can be used just as well in version 6. The key here is to have fun...enjoy!
Toy car simulation with Reactor

A very simple tutorial that walks you through the toy car simulation in reactor. This can be used version 5 or later of 3dsmax. If you are using 3dsmax version 6 you might want to explore the new car wheel constraint system with offers more capabilities.

Particle Flow with 'Material Static'

How to create great Particle Effects with Particle Flow, fast and straight forward. No Plug-in is needed for this, all of it was done with Max 6 Defaults.  But, I strongly recommend using Combustion 3 with this same technique- the results are stunning.
