Particle Flow Presets

Are you overlooking Particle Flow Presets?
Surely you’ve forgotten that Particle Flow in Max 2010 has a preset function, that allows for you to save and load particle presets. This feature has been around since Box Set 1, however it seems most people really overlook it.

This is in fact a really powerful feature, which of course is great for saving and loading preset systems, but also for saving pflow scripts, and constantly used set ups, even just some to make “rotation, spin, position, random_scale” on the fly. Here we just quickly jump in and point out the potential and usefulness of this great feature in 3D Studio Max 2010.
