Difficult Spawning??

Well I "think" I understood what you said but maybe I am mistaken. Is
it like 
this?
Ray Charles sang "It's not easy being green" with Kermit the Frog how
in the 
hell did Ray know?

Its kinda like that.  Think of it like this...you have a tree trunk(as you 
emitter)...then a big branch(first set of particles) that you want to emit 
from the trunk....then in the next event you want a smaller branch to emit 
from the previous big branch and so on.....

Hope that helps.....

Sounds like L-Systems to me.  Honestly, I don't think this is the best thing 
for particles.  Instead, I would script something that just copies and 
transforms the geo into place via some kind of loop.

L-System was essentially what i was thinking....wanted to see if it was 
possible.  Its seems to me that the logic is similar to a pflow setup but the 
implimentation i guess isn't practical.  Maybe i'll pursue the scripting 
route....i just finished reading that the Proboolean and cutter tools are 
exposed to maxscript in MAX 9.

Thanks for considering the question though guys!
