7:09 I repeated this in Houdini in 10 minutes quite easily by adding a Boolean node inside the solver. Sometimes there may be some geometry glitches, but I wouldn't say that this is a problem, it depends on the head movement and its stop.

[@andvfx]

@@ermperson I will bet money that A: you will run into failed booleans at some point in houdini, and B: tyflow its 100 times faster. As you get in to more complex assets the difference between the two systems are bigger and bigger.

[@ermperson]

@@andvfx As for the bad grid, I admit the possibility that Boolean is better in tflow than in Houdini. I did it in 10 minutes, the simulation is realtime and I can easily bypass moments with bad work of the Boolean. But I have doubts that in all cases Sergey's Boolean worked perfectly. I can throw off my hip scene, you can try to watch, compare if you have a setup from the video.

[@andvfx]

@ sure! But on my past company I spent a good 2 weeks comparing houdini booleans vs tyflow booleans, and the difference is huge. Sure you can do anything in houdini. But with a lot of mesh prep to dont get into errors, failed booleans or open edges. In tyflow it just works no matter how bad are the nesh or booleans. And being that much faster is a huge difference

[@ermperson]

@@andvfxI left 1 substep, but it can be easily increased. If during experiments there are problems with geometry, I left several disabled nodes that you can play with and that can potentially fix problems with normals or the disappearance of the inner part.

thanks, always inspirational

V Ray 7 has improved. However, it should be explained thoroughly how to use it to prevent flickering for animation. I think it should be explained mainly on the setting part.

@@tedeusz83 What would you like to see in version 2026? 🤔

[@JP3D81]

Why they call it 2026, why not 2025? Never got it?

I never even heard about USD in 3DsMax

Great stuff

[@daveson3D]

Eloi, whats your take on tyflow vs houdini

[@andvfx]

for fracturing and rigid bodies, tyflow is way way faster. Tyflow is like a cheat code, to do things very fast since you have a lot of "blocks" prebuild, where in houdini you need to build everything from scratch ( and some of the higuer SOP leves they build are quite bad). But the good thing of houdini is how the data flow no matter what, and how you can build very complex things (with time). The downside of tyflow, is that something is not build in... its difficult to build it yourself, and that you can not go very deep in to manipulating data low level, you are constrained in what its already there.

[@daveson3D]

@ thanks Eloi for your feedback! Nicely explained, it will help me a lot. Happy holidays!

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

Eloi aunque sabemos que no es comercial, hay forma de que algun dia nos demuestres flowline en alguno de tus videos?, se que es propiedad de scanline, peor bueno creo que aun trabajas alli, seria espectacular pues poco material sale de este soft a los medios.

[@andvfx]

Ahora hace 4 meses que dejé scanline, pero aun así me temo que es imposible, es software no comercial y son muy reticentes de mostrar nada.

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

@@andvfx una verdadera lastima.

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

@@andvfx algo que puedas compartir? aun corre dentro de max? o ya es una aplicacion aparte?

Last comment of 2024 😂

[@tinko8903]

Now Blender has got the V Ray plugin. 3ds max still can't make big changes. In terms of modeling, sculptural modeling hasn't been included in 4 years. This check is very disappointing to users. In Populate People, not being able to sculpt people like real people, and in Chaos Cosmos not being able to make people, cars, and trees move are much behind compared to other viz software. Very disappointed. User If you don't listen to and study the needs of 3ds max users, it will only lead to decline.

Yay, \(^_^)/ ... finally, I made the cut. thanks Eloi
