[@Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

Nice one Jesse! Love how quick and to the point your tuts are!

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks! 😊

[@ernestocavassa5170]

No way you'll find any other better and shorter tuts on youtube. I'm impressed by how far i've gone just seeing your tuts. Thank u very much

[@MrKoktus]

Лучшие туториалы! Спасибо! (Best tutorials! Thank you!)

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks!

hi Jesse, what do you think 3dsmax in the future? Blender is great for everything. a very significant improvement for the software, and also for its users. what do you think? Are you going to switch to using a blender? I know you use unreal too. I use 3DSMAX and Unreal Engine

Great Tutorial! Is it possible to bind this to an animated object? Cheers

[@RedefineFX]

yes object bind operator

[@thelonelycatproject]

Hi Bro. Long time no see. Another awesome tutorial btw.

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks, more on the way

[@tariqmostafa]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@addamski]

Hi Jesse! Excellent tut again. I would love to know a way to turn the space between the spheres into a mesh? Would it be a case of hiding the original mesh and doing a Boolean to subtract the spheres from it? Thanks

[@addamski]

Also How do you get more control over the size of the spheres, I'd like tiny ones, large ones and a lot in between. It will not let me go beneath 1.0 on the min, and above 5.0 it doesn't really change anything?

[@AhmedHasan91]

wonderful

[@remka1]

Hello Jesse, thanks again for this tutorial ! Would it be possible to simulate a flow of foam with this method ? I've set "continuous" to "object to vdb" and "vdb to particles" but it doesn't do the trick...

[@RedefineFX]

Hey, no, for foam you’d want to use Phoenix. The sphere packing won’t work for animation

[@ZAADBAIGMAGICALS]

awesome 👏 thank you

[@khanbilal25]

awesome !!

[@lirimhoxha9464]

is there a way yo pack boxes for example, lets say you want to pack packages on a truck ? Can you do that with tyflow ?

[@RedefineFX]

It’s possible but not with this approach.

[@ehabhussien9038]

thank you so much

[@jimmwagner]

Nice!

[@shivavarma2329]

Awesome...

[@bakilorein440]

Hello @RedefineFX I have a problem. I create a sub material but when I add the Material ID it doesn’t show the colours. Is there any way to fix that? Amazing videos btw you are amazing!!

[@RedefineFX]

Thanks. Could be your material not being enabled to "show in viewport". Could be your viewport display settings. Could be your tyflow display operator not set to "show material". That's all I can think of rn

[@bakilorein440]

@@RedefineFX its okay i figured it out. I had to apply the mtl to the tyflow icon

[@ikiikram]

Hey Jesse, if I wanted to make the spheres grow into the shape over time, how would I do that. I tried several things without success!

[@RedefineFX]

It’s trickier than it seems, I think it has to be done with custom properties. I’ll dig into it when I have time

[@ikiikram]

@@RedefineFX Thanks Jesse, I saw you replied before and tried to reply to say thanks but that message disappeared. Anyway, thank you for replying and I look forward to the solution, if and when you have the time.

[@atasafarzadeh7110]

plz give some info about TyFlow & development road map... is it commercial version or open source plugin, although I'm new in Houdini it looks like forward-thinking ;)

[@RedefineFX]

It’s in free beta still but commercial version coming soon

[@atasafarzadeh7110]

@@RedefineFX Tnx by far U r channel & courses are the best one to learn sth new about Ty flow 🍺

Спасибо Жека

[@МишаВоробейчиков-ш1э]

Where s the link to Rust_cg, who made this model?

[@RedefineFX]

Oh is that the case? Apologies, I thought it was a freely available model from Autodesk since it's the official Max logo. Credit added to description & thanks for letting me know.

[@simonlangdon7425]

Do you know how to export the vdb file?

[@RedefineFX]

There’s a VDB export operator for that, but the spheres are just regular meshes in this case, so you can use the standard export operator

[@weslley3dezao]

Ótimo.

[@X1014real]

OMG!

[@AndreDeLonge02]

i did all the step at 1:08 and I only get 1 sphere as the result . I am using the free version

[@RedefineFX]

likely your scene scale or object size is too big or small.

[@marwanzawmah2645]

How to make the spheres scatter?

[@RedefineFX]

Don’t know what you mean by scatter here. You can just add a PhysX shape operator to make them fall down

[@jhill3d]

@@RedefineFX Maybe he means add some slight movement to the packed spheres, inside of the VDB so the shape is maintained.

[@asadgondal9660]

How many times will you steal my heart?

[@RedefineFX]

Hopefully many, many more 😊😁
