Hey, I've been looking everywhere for some decent Pflow tutorials and I can't seem to find anything.Normally I would be using unreal's Cascade, but I'll be using an in-house engine, so I'll need to use Pflow to get my particles right.

Anyone know of any good Pflow tutorials?

CG academy has some but I havent tried it or anything. Mainly based on how much I enjoyed the HLSL DVD from them.

Allen McKay has some good tutorials on using PFlow in Max. They're a few years old but they hold up really well and teach you the basics.

If you look for recources regarding pFlow, head to Orbaz.com (http://www.orbaz.com/)...they developed pFlow before it was integrated in Max6 and currrentlx offer 3 additional Toolboxes with neat pFlow Operators...they also have a Support Forum...not too many Step-by-Step Tutorials, but tons of information...

CG Academy ones look like the most comprehensive set. Pete Drapers 'Deconstructing the Elements' books are also really great aswell, although not for beginners.
