What are the best Plugins For Particles Animation in 3ds max?

RayFire is the best for Animation

Thinking Particles, PFlow.

1. (Cebas Thinking Particles) is one of best plugins for particle simulation with huge control allow you to make what you want, It's totally strong and workflow is amazing not a complex

2. And there is another (Orbaz PF Box#2 / #3) actually you can take it as an update for PF put it's totally different with wide range of collision that need a script to do it by standard PF

So my personal suggest use Orbaz if your are using a limit particles collision

Or use Cebas Thinking Particles for booth complex or simple particles but you need to understand first how it's work, it may take a bit with you to make your eyes feel comfort with setup menu

Good Luck
