TUTORIALS
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to make particles follow a path in 3ds max. We
will discuss two ways to achieve the effect, one for non-event driven particle systems and
the other one for event driven particle systems, so, let’s get started with the first
technique.
For Non-Event driven Particle systems
Step 1

Let’s first try it with
PArray
(non-event driven particle system). To create a
PArray
emitter, go to
Create
panel and select
Particle Systems
from the dropdown menu. Now,
click on
PArray
and create a Parray emitter on the grid.

Now, we need a path that our particles will follow, so, go to
Create
panel again then click
on
Splines
and choose the shape that you want or you can manually draw the shape
using
Line
tool.

Since,
PArray
is an object based emitter, so, we need an object to be served as particle
emitter. Create any object of your choice (I am using Sphere) then select the
PArray
emitter and under
Basic Parameters
rollout, click on
Pick Object
button and pick your
object. Scrub the time slider to see the particles emitting from the object.

Before going further, we have to tweak some settings of the
PArray,
so, with the
PArray
selected, go to
Modify
panel and under
Basic Parameters
rollout, set the
Viewport
Display
to
Mesh,
so that we can see our particles as we see the mesh objects or
geometry directly on the viewport.
Now, under
Particle Generation
rollout, set the
Rate, Emit Stop
and
Display until
to
100
and
Life
to
20.
You can also tweak the size of the particles under
Particle Size
group.
Under
Particle Type
rollout, set the
Particle Type
to
Standard Particles
and choose
Sphere
from
Standard Particles
group.
