Particle editor works fine with Max. Been playing with some snow in it.
Looks way better than built in snow effects and is smoother as well. Apart from the fact my script makes it follow you round. Although, I'm so used to old games doing that I stop noticing after awhile. It's good enough for tests though.
Oh and here is something I got going in AGK while testing it. I think people will like the cool effects that can be made. Way, way better than the old GG particle system.
Well worth a look, especially if it is on offer.
