------------------------------------------------------
- After following The Magician's tutorial for installing the Plasma plug-in, the Writers' Guild's Max / Plasma Setup chart may help you visualize and understand Plasma's data associations (details in post below)
Something broke in how the overlay feature in this page worked! So...read it if you like, but the diagrammatical aspect is borked!
------------------------------------------------------
- Andy Legate's extensive and very readable collection of tutorials on many aspects of 3DStudioMax and the Plasma tools:

IndyURU.net - Emor D'ni Lap - 04-07-2013
IndyURU is gradually developing some excellent pages of step-by-step advice for both agebuilders and shard owners.
Keep an eye on their newest additions at IndyURU.net !!!
We hope to collaborate and coordinate our efforts in creating and collecting resources for Max agebuilders!
RE: IndyURU.net - Indy_Jones - 11-20-2013
There has been significant progress made at IndyURU.net on
The Plasma Plugins Components page.
The page lists all of the Components in the Plasma Plugin Component Manager with a link to the documentation for each item. It can help you find specific info in the doc very quickly. It may also be of some value in identifying what aspects of the Plasma Plugins documentation may be lean, incomplete, or non-existant.
You can find it in the Developers and Age Creators Book
under 'Modding Ages Chapter Two'

Updated the links in the OP.
Thanks Karkadann...there are probably quite a few more outdated links around here that I also need to fix...
