MatterWaves introduces material mapped particle systems to 3ds max. It’s a very flexible particle generation method available for 3ds max.

MatterWaves also includes an enhanced version of FreePyro! MatterPyro includes all features of FreePyro and more! MatterPyro offers the well known A-Bomb particle system found in PyroCluster® VX only! And MatterPyro effects render much better now than those found in FreePyro!

Many functions in Matterwaves are fully maskeable and mappable with any texturemap.
Creating particle animations based on mappings and materials is known to be one of the best and most advanced methods used by professional CG artists! So- when will you join the next level in particle animations? It’s MatterWaves that closes the gap between "every day" animations and "Wow! How did he do that?" animations.

MatterWaves is a completely independent 3ds max compatible particle system plug-in. It runs on any 3ds max. MatterWaves is perfectly integrated into 3ds max and it supports all known features. Even 3rd party plug-ins manipulating particle systems in 3ds max do work on MatterWaves particles. And for sure you may also use any particle space warp or dynamic property offered by 3ds max to animate or manipulate particles created by MatterWaves. If you wish you may also attach any volumetric effect to MatterWaves particle systems (like PyroCluster or any other volumetric effect that supports particle systems). As you can see from this short list, MatterWaves is a really complete plug-in package from cebas! There is no need to buy any extra "plug-in for a plug-in". And you do not need any special modification tools to animate or control MatterWaves particles.
