PF Source particles to Mesh?

torbjorn1 — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 12:30:09 GMT

Hi guys

Is there a way in 3ds Max 2019 to convert PF Source particles of the scene to editable geometry?
I've tried using http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/pflow-baker but it doesn't seem to work with 2019.

Kind regards

Torbjørn

Hi,

I believe that you are looking for the Mesher Compound Object.

Here's the complete info: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/3DSMax/files/GUID-35C6FA53-AF0B-4069-B4C4-04650693F75F-htm.html

Thanks for your reply. I tried the Mesher but unfortunately i don't think that's working when picking particles? Could you try and reproduce it to see if it works on your end? Thanks a lot

It works as it's supposed to be on my side. But i am still working with 3ds Max 2017 SP3.

You could try to start a new empty scene, add a default pflow, add a mesher, select your pflow on your mesher node and play. This simple test should work. If it doesn't, you probably have a problem with your installation of 3ds Max.
