Tyflow Multifracture - The Missing Manual

Learn tyFlow fracturing from the inside out and understand it.

What you'll learn

Learn all the tyFlow MultiFracture Modes

Learn all the parameters and settings in MultiFracture

Learn from walkthrough examples after going over the modes

Have fun with fracturing in 3ds Max using tyFlow

Requirements

Basic understanding of using tyFlow within the 3ds Max program, at least an intermediate skill level in tyFlow.

Description

This is a course that is about using tyFlow MultiFracturing Operator and Modifier in 3ds Max. We start by understanding the workflow, then we go through the eight fracturing modes and all of their parameters. Once we have a thorough understanding of this complex Operator, we have fun with sample projects and walkthroughs. By the completion of this course, students should be able to fracture comfortably in tyFlow and create their own amazing animations.Fracturing is a lot of fun and great to play with. tyFlow has a new amazing Operator for that, it's called MultiFracture, by the end of this course, user's will have a lot of in-depth knowledge using this Operator. It would be better if the user had some basic knowledge in tyFlow, but it is not necessarily a prerequisite.I am an avid 3ds Max user and tyflow is a huge addition to the 3ds Max workflow. It is growing in size and being able to use this Operator to create fracturing in a 3d environment is quite rewarding and above all else a whole lot of fun. tyFlow and fracturing does not have to be difficult to learn, this course definitely makes creativity possible.Regards Rob
