| Creating volumetric clouds
Study how to create clouds in 3d max
Start a new file in MAX or VIZ,
1) Create a plane for your ground surface. (CREATE>GEOMETRY/PLANE)
2) Create a big sphere, apply a NORMAL modifier to the sphere (MODIFIER>NORMAL) and select invert. (this is to make sure the sphere is viewable from inside) This big sphere is going to be used as the Blue sky background.
3) Position the sphere halfway, meaning centerpoint should be around the ground plane)
4) Select the Sphere and go into EDIT MESH mode (MODIFIER>EDIT MESH) and click on the VERTICES button, select the half the vertices underneath the ground plane and press delete. (We are basically chopping off the underside of the sphere, cause we don't need it.
5) Select Sphere and apply a spherical UVmap to it. (MODIFIER>UVMAP>SPHERE)
6) Create a gradient map and apply it to the sphere.

| Water, Fire and Smoke Effects Using Particles and Opacity Maps
Learn how to use particles and Opacity maps to create smoke, fire or water using 3d studio max
First we need some particles. In general, start by creating a super spray particle system. Then start changing parameters.
Both Off-Axis and Off-Plane spreads should be numbers between 10-20. This will let the particles spread out a bit after they're launched from the emitter.
Adjust the particle rate and speed for whatever effect you're trying to achieve. Rushing water is fast, smoke is slow, fire somewhere in between. Remember to add some variation.
