Realtime Particle preview

as i m max user i found that max particles are very advanced. we need to connect node by node to create particles .which is quite handy to see everything.think blender should also introduce something like that node interface in particle system. 2nd is Realtime preview as i rotate my particles i need to play it again n again to watch the preview .if particles rotate in Realtime means where i stops my cursor and if i modify any property of particles it will update right there .really missing that feature

You can't state enough how amazing the node based TyFlow particles in 3ds max are. It's one dedicated developer completely embarrassing every other 3D particle system beside Thinking Particles (also a 3dsmax plugin) and Houdini. Softimage XSI's Ice was very advanced too but Autodesk disbanded XSI a few years ago. I hate them since those days will full passion and I am switching to Blender from 3dsmax but the particles in Blender suck.

It is planned since a decade to pass particles to a system using nodes. Unfortunately, plans have constantly been modified. Now, developers are working on Geometry Nodes. In theory, dynamic particles nodes should follow. So, that should be solved during upcoming decade.
