tyFlow Dynamic Strings Tutorial in 3Ds Max by

🚀Take a Deep Dive into Setting up Advanced 3D Simulations with my Complete tyFlow Course: redefinefx.com...

In this new tyFlow VFX Tutorial I'll show you how to create simple dynamic strings / ropes that collide with geometry. We're using the particle bind operator to make the particles 'stick' together, then mesh them with the tySpline Mesher. You can use this technique for a variety of cool motion graphics effects.

these are practically the only tutos on tyflow, and I love the results every time. You publish very regularly so it allows me to improve during this quarantine in France ! :D

[@RedefineFX]

very glad to hear, thank you. I'm stuck at home too, so might as well make some tuts!

Thank you Jesse. Very helpful tyFlow tutorial. Like how your tutorials jump right in and focus on the task.

[@MS-pd5kz]

I like how you include the tiniest details like how to copy stuff in max while explaining a complex thing. just keep doing the good work.

[@RedefineFX]

What I've learned is there are many complete beginners to Max watching these tutorials...

[@MS-pd5kz]

@@RedefineFX EXACTLY! i am that beginner lots of the times. but it's the first time i see someone pays attention to that group.

[@mdesignanimationsricardomo513]

Awesome!! Thanks Jesse. Very well explained as always

[@leodebrito5894]

I started following your tutorials about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them!

[@RedefineFX]

That’s awesome thanks a lot 🙌🏻

[@legendaryfire4228]

Hi you said this was a beginner tutorial but I found some of your other tutorials a lot more comprehensive. You explained very fast so it was hard to catch but I'm so grateful to you for putting these tutorials up. If you explain individual operators "general use", as you were doing the tutorial the video would be longer but it would be super helpful, in my case. Once again thank you greatly and I look forward to getting your courses.

[@RedefineFX]

I just rewatched the tutorial and I feel like I always pause after every step to explain what I just did and why. The cadence may be fast, but the explanations are there. The tutorials also build on each other so if you're completely new to tyflow it's important you watch the very early tuts first. Thanks for the comment though I'll keep it in mind.

[@legendaryfire4228]

@@RedefineFX yes you do explain. I will watch some of your earlier ones. I've watched several of them so far. Your tutorials are becoming part of my morning routine 😁.

Hi Jesse, how do I make a shoulder bag when I pick it up by the rope the whole bag moves

[@RedefineFX]

You need PhysX binds instead of particle binds. I cover this in my tyFlow Deepdive course

[@maochiou2698]

TYFLOW always save my ass! 3000 Thanks !

[@Visualife]

Thank's for the tutorial. how do you export the Strings into TyCache?

[@orionart3527]

Great tutorial! One question. How to fix the upper particles by the angle so that the splines do not rotate?

[@RedefineFX]

I don’t understand the question

[@damnfail9316]

hi, can you tell me how to animate a toothbrush? i create with wobble effect but the bristle dont act like brush, it's so stiff. thank you

[@RedefineFX]

cool idea, added to list, thanks!

[@ArcturusMinsk]

how would you make the ropes tighter? like if I wanted to make more of a rubber band that contracts rather than the stretchy rope you have here?

[@edwinarbito2796]

Hey thanks so much for the tutorial. Really easy to follow along. Question for you. I'm trying to export the strings as an OBJ Sequence for Element 3D. I've use export particles and placed it right about the Display(sprite) in the hierarchy but i am not getting any meshes produced. Do you know how i could generate mesh objects from the strings?

[@joshjen1129]

Can you do one with a cloth floating mid air?

[@RedefineFX]

There’s already a tutorial for that

[@GD15555]

Hi, I looked everywhere and noone knows how to do it. I have a character spitting out ivy. And I need that ivy to wrap around a target object (like growing around) and then the character can get pulled with that ivy so it needs to act like a rope too. Do you have any idea where to begin? I was successful with spline paths acting like vines but it's for stationary mesh. Thank you

[@naseral-deen6294]

How to export the scene as alembic

[@RedefineFX]

Export operator

[@bruscopa]

this is nice! one question... how would you attach a physx rigid body to the end of a string?

[@RedefineFX]

You’d need a different technique entirely for that where the entire string would be made of PhysX objects also

[@bruscopa]

@@RedefineFX thanks!! Did you make something like that in your channel? I cant find anything about that

[@RedefineFX]

@@bruscopa not yet

[@JMcGrath]

Is there a way to get this to become a beaded curtain. seems to have perfect stucture for it?

[@RedefineFX]

It’s already made up of particles. Just add a shape operator and make them spheres

[@IncubusOfDeath]

Thank you for this tutorial.....but I can't do anything because (Birth Spline) is missing on my list. After (Birth PRT) I have (Birth Shape). Is that the same? Because the parameters are different.

[@RedefineFX]

You’re running an ancient version of tyflow

[@IncubusOfDeath]

@@RedefineFX It's a Beta Version. Ok Thanks

[@GD15555]

Can this be a replacement for rope fx

[@RedefineFX]

there are a few ways to make ropes with tyflow, this is just one of them. These are not physx ropes but there are other tutorials for that already on youtube
