How This Man Did what Autodesk Couldn't do | Tyflow

Today, we're exploring how 3ds Max was used for VFX, focusing on its Particle Flow system. When Particle Flow fell behind, Tyson Ibele stepped in to create Tyflow, a better version to tackle its limitations.

Tyson Ibele and his TyFlow is absolute game changer! Hi change not only 3ds max position, but whole its community! God bless you Tyson!

Tyson is a freak ina positive way. He, already as a teenager, withot any significant hardware, made us regular cgi artists feel incopetent way back when he single handedly done challenge projects on a level of proffessional studio in a insane short timespan. But he did all sorts of scripts already in that period too. I remember his wings/feathers rigging script, building parametric creator, and above all, he was alwas opened for discussion on a work based topics. Simply a fantastic guy! Let's not forget, his Tyflow is basically still free to use (and was completelly free up until last year), compared to thinking particles and other plugins, who knew their advantages, and asked pretty penny for it.

Well deserved video, this man is a hero.
Seems like physics development has been forgot by Autodesk (as well as Blender).
Only thanks to some addons like Tyflow (for autodesk) or Rbdlab (for Blender), the physics development is arriving so far.

I've always been amazed by Tyflow, thanks for sharing !

[SanOcelotl]

This guy is the king if redundancy, he says the same stuff like 10 times after moving on

Autodesk basically hasn't done dick to update or improve Character Studio, CAT, ClothFx, Shave and Haircut for decades. Every year they add a few inconsequential improvements like Super Chamfer to justify the subscription and then call it a day.

I always enjoy your vids. Your voice is calming and you cover things in CG news just enough to give me info I need.

[BorisKulagin]

For the sake of justice. Particle Flow was also made by one person, Oleg Bayborodin. Autodesk bought PFlow, hired Oleg, and then fired him. Since the rights were transferred to Autodesk, Oleg could no longer work on PFlow, which remained at the level of about 2006.

I first saw Tyson Ibele's work roughly 8 years ago - anyone who has seen his 3d animation work would know how amazingly talented he is. He's been developing Tyflow for many years now, this is the first external video of it that I've noticed.

[KamranWaziir]

Keep it up bro!
You are superb!
Love your videos!

[knode]

the script of this video is just like the answers i write for 7 mark question when i just know a 3 mark answer

[david-gqqz]

You explained it very well!
MAX special effects personnel should really thank Tyson!

[joachimart]

As long as Autodesk don't buy Tyflow and just let it rot like they have done with so many other tools I will keep using 3ds max. Tyson do more to 3ds Max than the entire Autodesk team is able to do...Particles, modifiers, Terain, vdb, typreview, etc etc...Autodesk should be embarrassed.

[TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Imagine 3dsmax would bedeveloped with awesome developer like tyson. There is still bug in 3dsmax i had 10 years ago.

Why isn't there any plugin like x-particles or tyflow for blender?

[nsevv]

He is known as a god in the 3d community especially 3dsmax.

This video talked about a million meaningless things that everyone knew / could've guessed, and somehow magically missed the first word in the title "HOW" that everyone clicked for.

[harlequintheserpent]

The only remark that should be here is that the Pflow interface definitely couldn't pose any difficulties in terms of the learning curve.

Clean and simplistic, with everything in a single field (thanks, thinking particles and houdini with multiple graphs for similar things and a feeling of chaos as an initial impression), it might not be the prettiest, but definitely easy to understand and learn.

That's why the TyFlow interface has effectively polished that concept, and thanks Tyson for not going for the complexity for the sake of the complexity.

The only thing from Pflow which TyFlow is still lacking to this day are the math node operators, which are quite more handy than you might think.

[OnyxLee]

Great topic and great information. Can you next talk about Phoenix fd and the leaving of its core developer?

[Michael-itgb]

I remember seeing that Sparrow animation in 2005 on CGtalk and that Tyson was only 18 years at the time, he made the whole thing in just ONE day. You realized that kid was very intelligent wiht high potential. TyFlow is very impressive, but sadly he's been stuck with it for many years now and hasn't really update his website(is Zombox shelved?).
