Bakes particle flow particles into meshes and/or helpers.

NOTE: This script bakes only the viewport particles, so in order to get the amout of particles set in your system, set the viewport count to 100%.

 

Version: 0.71 (2010-06-02 17:25:44)     Compatibility:MAX 9,MAX 2008,MAX 2009,MAX 2010,MAX 2011    

  • Changed the way the particles are baked into point cache. It is now much faster using this method.

That's because this is no a macroscript.
You can run it using the Maxscript > Run Script menu option.
Or if you'd like to make it into a macroscript, open the script in the script editor, select all of it and drag it onto a toolbar. That will automatically make a new macroscript out of it.
