Dynamics

Dynamic Nodes

Force Node: thinkingParticles can achieve an independent particle force that is totally controlled by TP3 alone, without the need of adding standard force fields in 3ds Max.

Orbit: Orbit is a useful thinkingParticles Node that offers the ability to set a specific orbit for one or multiple particles about a definable position, along with a definable orientation.

PAttach: With PAttach, for the first time in thinkingParticles history, it is possible to perfectly link two particles to each other so that one particle behaves exactly like the other.   Along with the new referencing system, it can be used for many amazing flocking or bonding effects.

ShapeJoint: With ShapeJoint, particles can be locked together even when physically accurate dynamic solutions are calculated.

thinkingParticles is enhanced and fine-tuned with many internal and external tools and functions. The Shape Collision Node offers even more power and a better work flow than ever before.  The BringTo Node has added options, making it possible to bring a particle to its target position in different ways.  Force fields, for example, can be applied even though the particle is traveling towards its target position.
