Followed every step, i can see particles when they render inside Max, but when I render PNG sequence, there's no visible particles. Explain please.

@AkademicDesignLabs I'm not sure what is the problem but maybe:

1. Your particles are black and you see in framewindow the alpha channel, so when in png there are black on black.

2. Maybe you're selecting the wrong viewport when pressing the render button. (f9 remembers the last viewport while render uses the current)

[AkademicDesignLabs]

@spider853 Spider I got it. You have to unclick "force additive mode" and add a light to your scene.

[spider853]

@AkademicDesignLabs Actually with force additive mode should render correctly, adding light its just another shading for particles.

Can you make a simple test with a particle system, and only additive mode enabled, render it to png (24bit | with alpha or without), and see if its working.

I didn't have any problems with png and additive mode.
