Creating a detailed, low-poly snowflake effect using Max 2017's powerful Particle Flow tool is an exciting project that can be achieved through a series of carefully planned steps. Firstly, you need to set up the scene by creating a plane and then adjusting its properties to match your desired snowflake shape. For this, select the "Plane" object from the Create panel, and in the Properties window, change the "Subdivisions U" and "Subdivisions V" values to create the intricate details of the snowflake. Next, you'll want to work on creating a particle system that will produce your low-poly snowflakes. To do this, go to the Create panel and select "Particle Object" from the Tools menu. In the Particle Properties window, set up the "Emission Rate" and "Particle Lifetime" parameters to control how fast the particles are emitted and how long they live in the scene. Now it's time to get into the details of creating your low-poly snowflakes using Particle Flow. First, you'll need to create a particle flow that will handle the emission and movement of your particles. To do this, click on the "Create" button at the top left corner of the Particle Properties window and select "Particle Flow Object". Name it something like "SnowflakePF". In the Particle Flow Editor, create a new sub-object by clicking on the "+" button in the toolbar. This will add a new tab to the editor where you can set up your particle flow. In this new tab, click on the "Attributes" panel and set the "Emission Rate" parameter to control how fast the particles are emitted. Next, create another sub-object by clicking on the "+" button again. This time, select the "Particle Movement" option from the drop-down menu. Set up the movement parameters in this new tab to make sure your particles move as desired. Now that you have your particle flow set up, it's time to add some visual details to your low-poly snowflakes. To do this, go back to the main Particle Properties window and click on the "Attributes" panel again. Set up the "Visual Attributes" parameters in this new tab to control how your particles look. Finally, render out your scene using the Max 2017 render engine to see your beautiful low-poly snowflakes in action! With these steps, you should now have a stunning low-poly snowflake effect that's sure to impress.
