TYFLOW IS HERE.

Join thousands of 3ds Max artists using tyFlow to push the boundaries of their
creativity.

Get tyFlow

Evolve

Upgrade your workflow with tyFlow’s robust, procedural, feature-rich VFX
capabilities.

Perform

Flex your rig with tyFlow’s multi-threaded algorithms and GPU accelerated
solvers.

Create

Capture your vision with tyFlow’s ever-growing list of simulation operators.

Deliver

Tear through billions of polygons with tyFlow’s native render instancing
support.

Integrate

Share your vision with tyFlow’s data exporters, across a range of formats.



MASTER PHYSICS

tyFlow’s solvers can handle rigidbodies, crowds, grains, cloth, ropes, and all
kinds of other materials. tyFlow can also interface directly with PhoenixFD,
FumeFX and Ornatrix, allowing for advanced interactions between complex,
simulated phenomena.



CONTROL CHAOS

tyFlow’s mesh slicing and fracturing algorithms – combined with its
implementation of the NVidia PhysX library – make it easy to orchestrate the
destruction of any object. Hard-surface deformations are also possible, enabling
you to bend, warp and crush your geometry.



ANYTHING GOES

tyFlow isn’t limited to just particles. Its OpenVDB integration, as well as its
additional modifiers, helpers, controllers, texture maps and other tools can
make it an integral part of a procedural, content-creation pipeline.




THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

tyFlow is constantly growing, and new features are being added all the time.



Rip and tear with the Cloth Solver

Wrap things up with the Particle Bind Solver

Grow fantastic structures with VDBs

Shatter, crush and destroy with PhysX

Direct hordes of characters with tyActors

Where can I find a complete list of tyFlow’s features?

tyFlow has so many features that it’s difficult to enumerate them all in a
single list. While it started as a simple particle simulation tool, its reach
has now expanded into many key places within VFX pipelines worldwide. Over the
past few years it has been used in games, advertising, television and film, and
it is now a workflow staple for many 3ds Max users.

To get a glimpse of its broad capabilities, you can browse the official docs,
download over 100 official example scene files, or check out the official
Instagram page.

What is a tyFlow PRO license?

A tyFlow PRO license is a permanent license that gives you full access to all
tyFlow PRO features in all versions of tyFlow released up until the time of
purchase. It also provides you with a one year maintenance period which entitles
you to any new tyFlow PRO updates released within one year after your purchase.

Both floating and node-locked tyFlow PRO licenses require an internet connection
for initial activation, deactivation or reactivation. However, no internet
connection is required for further license validation on a target machine as
long as the system’s hardware stays the same and the version of tyFlow being
used does not change. If your system hardware changes or you install a different
version of tyFlow (for example, you upgrade to a newer version within your
license maintenance period), an online license reactivation will be required at
that point in time.

What is the difference between a node-locked license and a floating license?

A node-locked tyFlow PRO license is hardware-locked to a single machine. It can
be migrated between machines using a manual activation/deactivation process, but
the migration process can be inconvenient and time-consuming if several
different users wish to share the same node-locked license. It is ideal for
situations where a single user plans to use a single license on a single
machine.

On the other hand, a floating tyFlow PRO license provides users with a license
seat that can be quickly and automatically migrated between machines, on demand,
using a tyFlow License Server. It is ideal for situations where multiple users
plan to share a license across multiple machines. A single floating license seat
can’t be used by more than one machine at a time, but seats will only be
acquired from a tyFlow License Server when necessary (and returned accordingly),
allowing for the seamless transition of license data across multiple computers
on a network. When one user stops using tyFlow on their machine, the seat will
be automatically freed for any other user connected to the tyFlow License Server
to automatically acquire it, as soon as they need it.

More information about the difference between node-locked and floating licenses
can be found in the tyFlow documentation.

Can I convert my node-locked license into a floating license?

Sure! The current cost to upgrade a single node-locked license into a floating
license (single seat) is:

[The current cost of a floating license – minus – the price you paid for your
node-locked license] OR [$150 USD] – whichever is less (this accounts for sale
prices at the time of original purchase, and time of upgrade). Consider these
scenarios:

If you paid $395 (sale) for your node-locked license, and a floating license is
$545 (sale), you’ll pay $150 to upgrade ($545-$395)

If you paid $495 (regular) for your node-locked license, and a floating license
is $545 (sale), you’ll pay $50 to upgrade ($545-$495)

If you paid $395 (sale) for your node-locked license, and a floating license is
$645, you’ll pay $150 to upgrade ($150 is less than $645-$395)

If you would like to upgrade your node-locked license, please contact
support@tyflow.com to arrange for the upgrade. Multiple node-locked licenses can
also be converted into multiple seats of a single floating license. And, for no
extra cost, multiple independent floating licenses can be combined into a single
floating license with multiple seats.

What happens once my tyFlow PRO maintenance period expires and how much does it
cost to renew?

Don’t worry! You can still keep using tyFlow PRO after the maintenance period
for a tyFlow PRO license expires. Each tyFlow PRO license is permanent, meaning
it never expires for versions of tyFlow released before or within the year after
purchase. An expired maintenance period just means that you won’t have access to
future tyFlow PRO updates.

After your maintenance period expires, you’ll have 30 days to renew your license
at a reduced price ($295 USD for each node-locked license, and $445 USD for each
floating license seat) in order to extend your access to new tyFlow PRO updates
for another year (backdated to the end of the previous maintenance period).
Maintenance period extensions are entirely optional and you will not be
automatically re-billed. A reminder email will be sent to you when your
maintenance period is over and the 30 days renewal period begins.

Should you choose not to renew your maintenance plan within those 30 days,
you’ll have to purchase a new tyFlow PRO license (at full price) if you wish to
upgrade to a newer tyFlow PRO version in the future. An expired maintenance
period does not affect the permanent status of your original license. You can
continue to use, activate, deactivate or migrate your tyFlow PRO license after
your maintenance period expires.

Is a tyFlow PRO license required for rendering?

No, a tyFlow PRO license is not required for rendering. However, an unlicensed
render machine is still subject to the same tyFlow FREE limitations as an
unlicensed workstation. To avoid the limitations of tyFlow FREE on an unlicensed
render machine, you can install tyFlow RENDER. More information about tyFlow
RENDER can be found here.

Are there any other license options available besides tyFlow FREE and tyFlow
PRO?

If you don’t want to purchase tyFlow PRO and aren’t happy with the limitations
of tyFlow FREE, you can continue using the original tyFlow BETA version.
Instructions for downloading old tyFlow BETA versions are here.

The original tyFlow BETA was released as a completely free and unlimited version
of tyFlow. It can be used for both personal and commercial purposes forever, as
outlined in the original tyFlow BETA EULA. The downside to not upgrading to the
current version of tyFlow, is that the tyFlow BETA is no longer updated in any
way, so you will miss out on any new features or bug-fixes that are added to
tyFlow. The tyFlow BETA is also not compatible with versions of 3ds Max released
after 3ds Max 2022.

I want to purchase a tyFlow PRO license. Can I get a discount?

If you represent an educational institution that is interested in purchasing
tyFlow PRO floating license seats in bulk (10 or more), please contact support
for information about a discount. No other tyFlow PRO discounts are offered at
this time.
