3ds Max + TyFlow - Simulating Rope and Knots

Simulation Lab via YouTube

Overview

Learn to simulate rope, knots, and interlinked objects that can be twisted and stretched using 3ds Max and TyFlow in this 41-minute tutorial. Discover a simple method for creating cool knot animations, comparable to those made in Cinema 4D or Houdini. Follow along as the instructor guides you through the setup process, including Shape Operator, Birth Operator, Physics Bind, Physics Weld, and Rings Tie Splines. Explore additional techniques such as adding Rubber Bands, applying Noise Modifier, and setting up camera, lighting, backdrop, and environment map for the final render. Perfect for 3D artists looking to enhance their simulation skills and create visually striking rope and knot effects.
