ThinkingParticles 3 is the next generation of rule-based particle systems for Autodesk?s 3ds max professional 3D modeling, rendering and animation software.
When compared to an event-based particle system, which works on triggers and time dependent events, a rule-based system is free from constraints and instead applies simple behaviors. These behaviors govern all aspects of a particle?s motion, life, death, and collisions in a true non-linear fashion.
Afterworks Dreamscape 2.5d for 3ds max 2008 32/64Bit
DreamScape is sophisticated set of 3DSMAX plug-ins for creating and rendering realistic landscapes, seascapes, skies, clouds, outdoor lighting and more. In contrast to other terrain creation tools for 3DS MAX.
Sitni Sati FumeFX v1.1 for 3dsMax 9-2008 (32/64 bit)
Release info:
FumeFX is a fluid dynamics engine designed for simulation and
rendering realistic fire, smoke, explosion and other gaseous
phenomena.
It’s versatility, robustness and intuitive workflow makes it a
solution for the most demanding tasks in the computer graphics
industry. Almost every aspect of simulation can be customized
through 3ds max scripting, allowing user to interfere with
simulation computation at the lowest level.
AfterBurn 4.0 delivers rendering speed improvements, workflow enhancements and modularity/extensibility.
Here is a short list of what?s new in AfterBurn 4.0:
– New AfterBurn Shadow Map brings a great speed improvement without significant shadow quality loss. Speed improvement over Raytraced Shadows in AfterBurn 3.2 can be more than a factor of five for dynamic scenes and even up to factor of ten for static cloud animations.
– AfterBurn no longer needs special type of shadows to be able to calculate self-shadowing effect as it supports standard light?s interface for atmospheric shadows (light?s ?Atmosphere Shadows? option).
Sapphire 2 includes support for the latest versions of all After Effects and compatible host applications including Adobe CS3 and the “Smart FX” API which provides more efficient processing and support for 32bit image formats. All platforms running v2 will have improved rendering speed.
Provides the ultimate filter set to smooth your imagery by combining user-directed controls and feature-sensitive methods.

PoserFusion seamlessly integrates Poser 7 3D character animation technology into Autodesk 3ds Max.
3ds Max artists can now use readily available Poser content and pre-rigged characters to easily create Poser animations and play them back within 3ds Max. Tapping into the vast community of available Poser content, instead of creating content from scratch for 3ds Max animations speeds up your production time dramatically!
Description
Hairtrix consists of two formerly independent plug-ins, hairfx and Ornatrix that can now be used in concert to create amazing hair and fur effects. Both Ornatrix and hairfx are production-proven hair creation and simulation tools for 3ds Max and they provide users with a multitude of advanced tools for creating realistic hair and fur, and simulating its movement.
