A winter simulation in 3ds Max
State of Art Academy’s “Simulate 3D Snow with tyFlow” tutorial builds a seasonal scene around a red British telephone box. The text walkthrough uses tyFlow to create falling snow and a complete winter environment.
Beyond snow
tyFlow is a 3ds Max plug-in used for particle-driven effects including cloth, snow and destruction. A companion tutorial demonstrates cloth simulations for blankets, curtains, cushions and related fabrics.
Plug-in interfaces and solver behaviour change over time, so test the tutorial against the current tyFlow and 3ds Max releases before production use.
