affect single frame of particles with max space warps

[mark_aldred]

I have a single frame of simulated particles that I'd like to affect by forces. I can't seem to do it with either the simulator, the particles node or the PRT reader.
Linking to space warps vanishes the particles.

Is there any way to do this?

You could use a PRT Loader from Krakatoa. But that is getting harder since finding a version for recent Max versions is difficult.

You might also try Alembic particles. I can’t recall if that works.

Or load the particles into TyFlow perhaps.

Thanks.
I tried exporting Alembic with the box checked but it crashes max on import.
I also had a look for the Krakatoa loader but couldn't find it. I'll try again.

Thanks for the help.
