I played around with the LW trial version, and got to know HyperVoxels. They seem to be incredibly useful in just about any effect, and are relatively easy to set up. I wondered if there was anything remotely like it in 3D Studio Max, that allows you to create volume stuff that easily (or at all!). I fear that particles with their flow diagram setups are the only thing that could produce anything close, if at all
And yes, I've been thinking about switching, but it's so different and I'm not sure if I want to learn almost everything once again, but there are other threads about that.
I'd be happy about any info you can give me

As for LW since i am still learning i have found that there is alot more options then most other programs.
If you want to see a more fluid like effect, like something you'd see from FumeFX listed above, check out Dynamite. But that brings in a whole new set of problems
Hopefully one day soon we'll see some advancements to all these particle effects in LW
I do agree though, LW comes with a whole lot of stuff out of the box for fairly cheap
FumeFX looks very nice, but is just about too expensive, I'm only do modeling as a hobby and max itself was already epxensive enough :P
Thanks, now I know that I either can switch to LW or pay a whole lot of money..hmm I'll see about that
I have not tested the speed really on the latest beta, but hopefully there are some improvements.
