Any advice on an easy way to create a custom particle system?

I need to create a super simple particle system for one of the spells I'm creating. It would be dead simple to do in something like Max or even Blender. At first glance, I thought I had read somewhere that the Blender plugin supported particle systems. But upon re-reading things, it looks like I was wrong.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to create a particle system without having to rip stuff apart and reassembling it using NifSkope? Like I said, this particle system is super basic. I just need a bunch of textured squares to explode out from a central point. Then I can altar the velocity, and possible the life span, to control the area of effect.

 

If there isn't an alternative method, can anybody suggest a similar explosion nif to the effect I'm describing? Preferably as simple as possible? It's ridiculous how many parts and pieces there are in most of the particle effect nifs.

 

Thanks In Advance!

Unless somebody has been hiding it for year, then there are no plugins for any package that supports the export of particle system. The last time we had that was in Oblivion, using the CIV exporter with 3ds max 2008.

Your best bet is to edit excisting particle systems, or create from scratch within Nifskope(I know that was possible in Oblivion. I am unsure if it is possible in Skyrim. I'd think so!)
