Birth from Point cloud object - TubeSmokeGuy - 01-25-2021

Hi!

It would be cool if we could birth particles or vdb, directly from 3dsmax pointcloud object.

What Do you think?


Thank you and greetings!

If it exposes the IParticleObjectExt interface, then you should already be able to import it using a Birth Flow/Flow Update operator. If not, you'll have to ask the max devs to support that interface.

It's not pickable by Birth Flow / Flow Update. So I assume, that it's not supported. Thank you anyway! :-)
