This 3d animated short movie was done solely in 3ds Max 2013 using Rayfire plugin version 1.59 and Pflow particle system. I used fairly simple simulations algorithm just activation by animated deflector with secondary bounce event in most cases.. Biggest nut was that Matric style Bullet time effect which you can somewhere in the middle of this video. I was at some points desperate and ready to give up but i had some kind of archimedes moment and finally pulled it of... Shot where i used that Matrix style bullet time was essentialy already broken in rayfire so there was a few technical challenges like slow particles down nearly into a freeze frame then retime it back up to the end and make all particles fall on the floor from freeze.. it didnt turned out 100% how i would like bu hey... Since you can´t retime your Pflow particles simulation using a curve editor or some easy solution you have to use age test set of operators and also additional forces.. but whatever.. They eventually did what i wanted them do do which was falling back on the floor so i was happy...on some shots there are up to 8000 physicaly correct 3d particles
Now the simulations are not necessarily realistic but i wasn´t going for that..
