DCM - Data Channel Modifier

Produces a map for dust that settles on top of whatever faces that are top facing (world).

Extract preset to:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\DataChannelPresets

Then in your DCM, load it as a Preset.

Of course, if you want your Dust 'fixed', simply change the Vector to Local instead of World...or if dust

is coming from a direction (rickety door in an old ghost town) then use Node Look At

bit of a hack to display Particle Speed...where the particles ARE that is...

Extract preset to:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\DataChannelPresets

Then in your DCM (on a Mesher that is, coz DCM needs a mesh to work on, it can't work directly with PF), load it as a Preset.

ver 1.01: Maxscript op now will use correct (auto) frame rate

There's plenty of 'Select top/bottom facing' utilites...now a DCP to select side facing verts...

why ? dunno...sidejob ? sideburns ? that's beside the point, just do it sideways...
