tyFlow CUDA Cloth FX Tutorial: Soft Bodies in 3Ds Max by

[@arnod347]

Looks sick. I'm gonna start learning this right now. Thank you for this tutorial🙏🙏🙏

[@RedefineFX]

Thank you!

[@smukkegreen]

Am I the only one that get a craving for marshmallow when watching this? Great tutorial, Jesse. Your way of explaining why you use the different operators and settings are excellent.

[@TankRust]

Great video Jesse! Super stoked to simulate some soft-body spheres!

[@张浩-z1y]

That's a really nice effect. I really enjoyed your tutorial.👍

[@Fat_to_Fit_Freelancer]

Some of my clients wanted this effect but I couldn't make it. I have lost so much business. Now I know how to get this cool effect. Thank you so much.

[@mahanslt9110]

You are a legend.

[@juliakotze2741]

Awesome tutorial! Is there a way to change the ball's material ID upon collision?

[@RedefineFX]

Not in this setup. It would have to be setup differently using a collision operator which would also act as a condition test

[@victorblanchard7774]

Thumb up for sharing!

[@mikbal7055]

Great work! How can we achieve this without CUDA ? (Tyflow Free ). Particle physics node did not help much.

[@RedefineFX]

you can't

[@synthbendati]

Best tutorials ever, Thanks a lot

[@RedefineFX]

Thank you

[@ngergihun]

An awesome tutorial, as always! :)

[@majorpaiyne2124]

Pretty cool. I just noticed that your logo is also animated. Pretty dope stuff. 6:30 Cuda cloth works for other cards too. I have the 1060 3G and it works just fine.

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks ✌️

[@tomg1448]

Really cool! Thanks for sharing this. My spheres are squashing too much when colliding with the central object - is there anything I can do about that (please)?

[@RedefineFX]

reduce find target velocity

[@tonyaure]

Excellent, i m a Tyflow fan. Thanks for your tuto

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks!

[@shie4134]

very useful !! thanks ~~ 😫

[@hanshubert6675]

thank you for sharing your tyflow knowledge i just learned of its existence ;). let me repay you with some qol tips 1: you can specify material ids within the shell modifier 2: if you still want to go that road of collapsing the modifier and then specifying matIDs you can select one face and then shift click an adjacent face to select the ring instead of selecting an edge then ringselect then convert the selection 3: why bother with mat ids at all? just scalecopy the collisionbox and delete the front and back face. done

[@RedefineFX]

Thank you! Love the tips. Using or not using the material IDs in this example makes no difference but just wanted to show people how to do that since it comes in handy all the time.

@@RedefineFX Yes sir

[@mfkhan127]

Excellent as usual. Quick question IS CLOTH COLLISION POSSIBLE WITHOUT CUDA GPU. Not all viewers have it I guess.

[@RedefineFX]

Thank you and yes very much so it’s just not as accurate and it’s slower. You’ll need to increase the particle bind solver steps much higher (like 30-100) to get decent results.

[@mfkhan127]

@@RedefineFX Oh K. Thanks for taking time to reply Jesse

[@abhilashwolffxartworks9592]

Hello Jesse. First of all thanks for the tutorial it's an awesome one. I have a question regarding Phoenix FD. Everytime simulation is done in Phoenix FD it starts from zero. Is there any way to make any simulation become active or run from like 10 in the timeline or so? The start frame and stop frame doesn't help much. Nothing gets simulated at all. Hoping you could help on this.

[@RedefineFX]

Click Restore instead of Start

@@RedefineFX thank you for replying. Will try this out.

Hi, is it possible for the balls to fuse into one bigger ball instead of collide ? Thank you

Amazing tutorial! Never used 3ds Max, using C4D or Blender, but searching for best'n'fast particles effects especially for soft bodies, so I think today is a time to start learning 3ds Max... One thing, is it possible to flow them down as Falling, Bouncing outtta the floor and then Connect to a Logo?

[@kaliakbar5036]

hello sir. I do have one question: when the project is completed how to rendering. please show me because I build but I can movie render

[@francescomatera2904]

Cool tutorial! The problem whit the modifiers on tyflow is that they kill motion blur(in vray)

[@RedefineFX]

Didn’t happen for me here. Rendered with motion blur, but I do run into that issue sometimes, mainly with tysplines (which is a known issue)

[@francescomatera2904]

@@RedefineFX I've never had a problem with tyflow + motion blur. Only when I add turbosmooth to the tyFlow Objecy. Thank you

Great video Jesse! But can you help me?... I have a quadro Rtx 4000 and i cant enable CUDA collision Solver... I Instal the last one driver and nothing.... I haven't anny idea what am I doing wrong

Double check you’ve installed the cuda DLLs and the cuda development kit.

[@RedefineFX]

No fog here, just a bit of color correction in after effects

[@ediskujovic898]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. When I try to put anything I modeled in shape (dounat like geometry, edited torus) it collapses on it self before reaching the "target. Would you know what would couse this? Particle bind? Thank you edit: Solved it by playing with Volume in ClothNod. Thank you

[@RedefineFX]

Try increa sing the inflation force much higher. Anything that is not a sphere or cube will get deformed due to the cloth binds pulling it in different directions

[@maulive9142]

Damn, how do you solve cloth collisions without the Cuda options ?

[@RedefineFX]

It still works but slower and less accurate

[@GiacomoGeroldi]

Hi ! Great tutorial! If i want to use a complex model instead a sphere? i mean, i want to do this with small car (single object with multiple elements ), how can i do? i tried but without results! thanks !

[@RedefineFX]

Add everything as a collision object

[@GiacomoGeroldi]

@@RedefineFX maybe I expressed myself badly, i mean, instead of geosphere i used car model, this car is a single shape but you can select different elements of it. I added this model in Shape, but when i start animation this is SUPER slow and model crash on itself., it is as if the elements contained in the model touch each other.... i hope i explained correctly!

hi jessie I have a question, how can digging with a pick can be done using Ty Flo

[@RedefineFX]

destruction setup with pieces getting activated if they're within certain distance to pick, then breaking further

one quick question about phoenix fd. it is possible to make interact 2 simulations? one fire and one smoke in example? i will appreciate any information on this. thanks

[@combojerman28]

missing comment from RedefineFX: "Those to always happen together" do you have any video or training how to combine them? i will love to see this in action.

Is there an alternative way to get rid of geosphere intersections if I have an AMD graphics card?

[@RedefineFX]

Yes and it’s covered in my earlier cloth tuts

[@domo2725]

Heya! Thanks for sharing, really great and clear tutorial! I have emailed you twice now about your paid tutorials but have not had a response. I have a question on your system specs. What are they? In this video everything you do seems super responsive. I have a Threadripper 3rd gen and an RTX2080 and a GTX 1070, once I start adding collision things take a long time to update. I have thought of adding a Cache operator to help with this but again your scene seems super smooth!

[@RedefineFX]

Hey, I’m positive I never got your emails. Don’t know why that is. I have a less powerful PC than you, however don’t forget I cut all of the pauses out of the tutorials - so you don’t see how long it takes to sim / update 😉

[@variousinformationsenterta8352]

Dear Sir, I have no option for PNG file settings for save. Can you please guide me how to set it? I have only alpha and RGB color channels for saving to the renders file. other channels are not showing and whenever I am trying to save in a PNG file showing error. in 3ds max

[@RedefineFX]

save as .exr

[@ArcturusMinsk]

what's the best way to cache the results? I wouldn't want to submit this to the renderfarm and end up waiting for each system to re-calculate.

For some reason the spheres shrink when they touch the collider box that keeps them together. They shrink to a very small dot. Can someone tell why this is?

[@RedefineFX]

Possibly your scene scale is way off

[@JoepSwagemakers]

@@RedefineFX My scene is not abnormally large, like 5 meters or so. It only happens when the spheres touch the collider box, before that they simulate fine.

[@RedefineFX]

@@JoepSwagemakers no idea then but if you message me on facebook I can send you the project file.

@@RedefineFX thanks but that's oke, I doubt I can solve it with that while having your video. I'm just going to start from scratch on a smaller scale
