NEW tyFlow 20+ Terrain Operators! Getting Started Guide in 3Ds Max & Vray

[@laeianimation]

The terrain tool in the new Tyflow seems like a great addition! thank you for this insightful overview.

[@RedefineFX]

Glad to help. It's indeed amazing and very fun

[@pablomiguelfrancisco4116]

I have a doubt. I can´t extract the material because the Terrain mesh operator doesn´t have the ¨Assign Ty Color Textmap¨. Instead of that only has ¨Extract mesh¨ and ¨Setup vertex color texmap¨. I tried with those but is not working. What should I do?

[@creativeconcepts4197]

Tyflow and this guy puts 3dsmax on steroids Tyflow is the 1st plugin for me that's totally worth paying for

[@mikegentile13]

I can't wait for a deepdive on this. Consider me signed up!

[@wilismatrix9847]

This with the forest pack is a great combo for creating stunning environments !

[@evelynfive5684]

I'm new to this and, the terrain size generated by tyFlow is really small right?

[@petarivic6528]

It is worth having tyflow pro license for this update. Even though free version has all the same capabilities without gpu acceleration it is not real time process when you are adjusting terrain nodes. It is also good to show support to this developer

[@RedefineFX]

[@ProvVFX]

You're good at teaching! This is a nice update, and looks more straightforward than World Creator, and it's right inside Max. The liquid and snow melting/ tiling options are huge. I have a cpl questions. Is there a sculpting option? Can the tiles be randomized so it doesn't look so uniform? Will check to see if you have other tyflow terrain tuts. Appreciated

[@luumuart]

Thanks Jesse, a great short introduction, just what I needed to get started with these terrains!

[@sabahshahdi]

As usual, Brief and useful.

[@LocNgVIZ]

Really amazing, the nightmare with terrain will be disappear

[@Rment0r]

Hi there. With the new update, "assign TyTerrainColor texmap" it's gone, and only shows "setup vertex color texmap". When i pick up, only show a mat with vertex color in it. How can i get the texture now? Thanks

Tyson is definitely a genius

Hi Jesse, thank you for thhis fantastic tutorial? 1. would be great of you can show us o briefly explain how to use real world tearrain hegiht maps and add detail of it :) 2.would be possible to extract masks from it? thank you

[@RedefineFX]

1) you can add your own texture into the terrain noise operator 2) yes it lets you create masks from almost everything from what I've seen so far

[@claudiot110]

@@RedefineFX it would be great if you can show this things in the next video :) and what about texture to terrain?

how to Simulating animated wheat being harvested using TyFlow?

[@AAAAAAndreyAndreev]

im sorrry to ask but the dude updated tyflow and now instead of tyterraincolor texmap is a vertex color texmap and i have no idea what to do with that ... how can i extract the texture

[@tormund8554]

can I reduce amout of vertices? I want sort of a low poly terrain for my project

[@LightShadow]

THX. Would be nice to see it on real case terrains - like around a house. Can it work with non-rectangular surfaces ?

[@RedefineFX]

yes, it has multiple ways of cutting / excluding the terrain around objects - using textures, geometry, or clamping it with one of the operators

[@chejz]

@@RedefineFX show that please :) that would be amazing, real case scenario amazing work man!

crazy :)

[@magnusjohansson4529]

great! Have you tried rendering with the liquid as well ? I can´t get that to work....

[@RedefineFX]

Setting up the different vray materials for snow/liquid/terrains requires that you separate the events by material IDs first and deserves its own tutorial

@@RedefineFX so how does one go about getting the text map from the terrain then?

[@idgeek]

Hmm.. I'm trying out the free version and none of the terrain tools are available?

[@RedefineFX]

Impossible 🙂

[@avatr7109]

I do need a strong PC for this to work right?

[@RedefineFX]

Not really it’s not very heavy computation-wise

[@creativeconcepts4197]

Is there any performance differences in tyflow flow pro vs free?

[@RedefineFX]

Yes. tyFlow free is not multithreaded and cuda accelerated

[@truthseeker9881]

Can you use dem information to create real world terrain?

[@RedefineFX]

Currently no, unless you can convert it into a texture map

[@smukkegreen]

Does tyFlow Beta still work with 3DS Max 2023?

[@RedefineFX]

No. Max 2022 and lower

[@thibaultfox]

hello, i try your tutorial but with terrain mesh i have another possibilities, but I can't transform the terrain into a mesh. i have these options : Extract mesh (doing nothing) and setup vertex color texmap (doing nothing too) i have the free version

sad that tyTerrainColor not working with corona render

I believe vertex color was just added today which lets it work with other renderers. Check tyflow FB group for details

[@Vogueeeeee]

Just been playing around with it finally, and i'll be honest if you haven't got cuda, don't bother. The processing time goes through the roof once you start stacking operators, it looks great if CUDA but for me who only has the free version its pretty piss poor to use

[@mikbal7055]

true

[@mohamedsabry6871]

how install CUDA files ?

[@RedefineFX]

Drop them into the same folder as Tyflow. If that doesn’t work, install the cuda toolkit from nvidia website
