Simulation for 3ds Max

A next-generation particle and dynamics system for advanced simulations in 3ds Max.

Craft Director Studio is an animation plug-in for 3ds Max that lets you hook up to a model and drive vehicles and aircraft through 3D environments, adjusting variables like suspension and adding camera effects.

PhysX Painter is a 3ds Max plugin for populating scenes with assets using a brush, placing them automatically through rigid body simulation. Built for architecture, game cinematics and commercials, it replaces hand placement and slower MassFX setups.

Particle test code is a script-based particle system for 3ds Max from developer Chuggnut, shared as test code. It generates particles of different types and includes gravity and wind resistance.

ArborSway is a utility MaxScript for 3ds Max that automates wind setup on GrowFX trees. Select a tree, click Apply Wind, and it creates a Wind Helper, adds Wind Modifiers, and links everything.
