By List Click this button, and then use the Select Force Space Warps dialog
to add one or more space warps to the list. The space warps must already exist
in the scene.
The software adds space warps to the list in same order in which they appear
in the dialog. To effect a different order, use the Add button to add them one
at a time.
Remove Highlight a space warp in the list, and then click this button to
remove it from the list. Any removed space warps remain in the scene.
Force Field Overlapping Determines how multiple forces that occupy the
same volume of space affect the particles. With Additive, the forces are
combined according to their relative strengths. With Maximum, only the
force with the greatest strength affects the particles.
For example, you might apply Wind and Gravity space warps to particles, and
set their Strength parameters to 1.5 and 1.0, respectively. If you choose
Additive, the Wind space warp will have approximately 50 percent more
influence over the particles than the Gravity space warp. But if you choose
Maximum, only the Wind space warp will affect the particles.
Influence Specifies the strength with which the force or forces are applied to
the particles as a percentage. Default=1000.0.
A negative Influence value reverses the force effects.
NOTE By default, the influence of the Force space warps on Particle Flow particles
is equivalent to their influence on the 3ds Max 2 particle systems PArray, Super
Spray, Blizzard, and PCloud. To obtain an influence on Particle Flow particles
equivalent to that of the 3ds Max 1 particle systems Snow and Spray, set
Influence=100.0.

Choose the time frame for applying animated parameters. For an explanation,
see
Animation Offset Keying group on page 2870.
Sync By Choose the time frame for applying animated parameters:
■ Absolute Time Any keys set for parameters are applied at the actual frames
for which they're set.
■ Particle Age Any keys set for parameters are applied at the corresponding
frames of each particle's existence.
■ Event Duration Any keys set for parameters are applied to each particle
starting when it first enters the event.
