Help with a project

[Anonymous]

Hello fellow designers 

I am new to 3DS Max and wanted to recreate a project from Youtube but the object is created in Maya, which I tried placing a PF source to a plane but I do not know how to move on from there. 

     Here is the video.

I have tried playing with the Particle flow but my knowledge of 3DS Max is fairly limited. Any help will be appreciated 

Also I am using 3DS Max 2016 student version for the project.

1 ) Use a Position Object operator to select the plane as an emitter.

2) Check 'Density by Material' option and select 'Greyscale'
