Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for so long, but here it is!
From eat3d: ‘In this DVD Hristo Velev takes up from Part 1 in this series, to go deeper into the intermediate concepts of Thinking Particles. Everything from Raycasting, Referencing, Motion Inheritance, Generation, Driving Scene Objects, Shape Collision, Fragmentation, Caching, Joints, PhysX Dynamics, Deformation, Displacement, Map-Based Interaction, Particle Interaction, Custom Data Streams, FumeFX Interaction, and more are fully explored in this DVD.
This DVD is perfect for those who want to learn more about Thinking Particles and why many studios are using it in production today.’

Any questions you have – ready to answer here, in the CGTalk thread or anywhere else I appear 🙂
Thanks guys, and special thanks to Geri for keeping up with me all the evenings and weekends 🙂
Hi Hristo
Thanks for your awesome dvd. I have an issue with TP/Fume integration, I have installed both plugins but I don’t have the fume birth/follow/probe options in TP operator menu. how do you get them to show up ? hope you can help.
Thanks a lot
I also get an error when I run max :
failed to initialize plugins\afterworks\optional\fumeFx_TP.dlo
error code 127 – the specified procedure could not be found.
You need to choose the custom option in the TP installation, and turn on the’optional’ part – the Afterworks stuff is there 😉
thanks but there is no custom option in TP installation. the custom and optional parts are only in fume installation and I have them installed but max always shows that error. I’ve even tried to change TP/Fume optional line load order in the plugin.ini file but I’ve had no luck. thanks anyway.
is there gonna be a third dvd in these series like an advanced one? I really love them a lot. keep up the good work
Yeah you’re right, its in the FFX options. Weird then, dunno what’s causing it. About a third DVD – should be something in about half year roughly:)
