    Great tutorial again Chandan Sir.

    Is there any way to use less number of polygons for creating that snow?
    I think we can also use ‘Blobmesh’ for quickly create such kind of structure.

    Thanks. :)

    Hi Chandan !

    I have a tutorial or tutorials request, if you and envato are interested.

    Could you if possible, please do a comprehensive overview of the
    RayFire Tool – Plugin for 3DS Max ?

    Interface, functions – options, application, maybe some tips & tricks.

    If you would a least consider my request it would be truly appreciated.

    Regards

    Martin.

      Hey Martin,

      As per your concern, there are already a channel by Mir Vadim (creator of Rayfire)
      “http://www.youtube.com/user/MirVadim”, where you can learn each and every properties, functions etc.

      Moreover if you have any doubts while doing a scene, you may send in your query to some interesting Facebook groups :

      RAYFIRE DEDICATED : https://www.facebook.com/groups/277693911374/
      VFX/FX DEDICATED : https://www.facebook.com/groups/393324354064369/

        Hi Giridhar,

        Thank You for your response and taking the time to make it.

        Unfortunately you did not address my actual request, how or where to begin.

        Mr. Vadim has a You Tube page indeed, but he has never addressed
        this issue either. His Video’s are: new function, promo and advanced.

        Interesting Facebook groups: Nice one, always good to know, but again this
        assumes I am already well versed with the product, but I am stuck…..

        As far as I am aware NOBODY has ever done a video tutorial in the format I
        suggested above for the RayFire Tool, not even the author of the product.

        If by the way anybody can prove me wrong, Please make my day I would be
        more than pleased to hear about it.

        Again Giridhar, Thank You very much for your response, Excellent.

        Regards

        Martin.
