This program allows you to create a unique fountain. The constituents of the fountain are set in a group which name is indicated in the field 'NAME:'.A fountain is made to be exported - and you can not have more than one fountain in a scene at the moment of its creation. Several fountains can then be merged in another scene.

INSTALLATION============ Just copy the files in the scripts directory of 3D Studio Max 3 or 4.The file Fontain21us.ms is in English language.This script does not run with 3D Studio Max 2.x. DOCUMENTATION ( main functions)====================================== Density of the jet: supplies a parameter for drop size - the effect of which only shows when rendering.Power of the jet: acts on the speed of the particles to produce a jet moreor less violent.Volume of the jet: allows to define the same particles count in the viewports and in the rendering.Height: coordinate in Z of the startpoint of the fountain jet.Gravity: allows to define the gravity attraction. Bounce: allows to define the bounce of the waterfall. Wind Force: gives more or less wind force on the fountain jet.Opacity: allows to control the transparency of the water.Colour range: allows to control the opacity of the fountain jet according to the droplets speed rate. Name: allows to name the Fountain object. 4 buttons allow to carry out the following operations: -Create: allows to create a fountain-Reset: resets the scene-Erase: destroys any fountain-Export: Exports the fountain in a file with extension .max This routine allows to quickly create a fountain. It keeps in memorythe value of the modified parameters during a session and detects the parameters of an existing fountain in the scene. The script eventually adapts itself to any new loaded scene containing a fountain without having to be revalued. You just have to close and reopen the working window. If a fountain exists in the scene - the script first invites you to delete it before creating a new one. If you want to keep several fountains - you have to rename the constituents of each fontain.
