tyFlow doesn't just replace Particle Flow — it makes you wonder how you tolerated the old system. One operator graph handles fracturing, cloth, crowds and PhysX, and the fact that a fully capable build is free is almost unreasonable.
tyFlow is a node-based particle and simulation plugin that replaces the aging Particle Flow in 3ds Max. It handles everything from fracturing and cloth to crowd systems, granular sims and PhysX-driven dynamics inside one flexible operator graph.
Artists use tyFlow for destruction, motion graphics and complex effects that would be impractical to keyframe. It exports to Alembic and PRT, integrates with major renderers, and is available in a fully featured free build.
tyFlow is best for destruction, particle and dynamics work in 3ds Max.
tyFlow is freemium: the core is free to use, with paid upgrades or add-ons available (Free build + paid Pro).
There's a fully featured free build of tyFlow that covers the vast majority of production needs, plus a paid Pro tier that adds extra capabilities. That's why it's listed as freemium.
Effectively, yes. tyFlow is a modern, node-based particle and simulation system designed to supersede the aging Particle Flow, with far broader capabilities including destruction, cloth and crowds.
Yes. tyFlow exports to Alembic and PRT, so you can take cached simulations into other applications or renderers in your pipeline.
