“Jesse is a great teacher who makes concise training that doesn’t waste your time. There is a lot of content inside the courses and I really appreciated that all the project files were included. I worked for 2 days on a simulation, then got his course and was able to get results quickly!”
– Logan McNay, Director & 3D Artist
Learn From a Variety of New Setups Covering Every Major tyFlow Feature
VDBs, Actors, Custom Properties, tyMesher, tySlicer, Cloth Sims, Tearing, Inflation, Phoenix FD everything, Particle Binds, …it’s all here. All of the below examples were created to cover as wide a spectrum of skills as possible.

Cloth Peeling (loosely inspired by Asus Laptop Ads)

Use textures to control particle behavior, color by custom properties (inspired by Samsung OLED TV commercial)

Create this popular effect of soft bodies inflating as the sneaker hits ground (Inspired by Adidas Cloud Foam ads)

Particles Generated & Influenced by Phoenix FD Simulations (inspired by Samsung Galaxy S21 Launch Trailer)

VDB grow / subtract / fill / cut volumes with particles

Create strings between objects with particle binds

CUDA particle binds – create thousands of strands of hair / fur and influence with forces, color with a gradient map

Organic Growth – fills objects and is colored by age with custom properties

Activate & affect ragdolls with Phoenix forces (e.g. blow away with explosion)

Combine multiple Biped Animations (meaning they can run, jump, then turn into ragdolls & get attached to a rope). And yes, I’ll show you how to do the lighting & rendering too instead of leaving you at a clay viewport preview 😉

Turn actors into cloth or PhysX objects / Inflate or destroy them

Turn animated actors into PhysX ragdolls, triggered by other events in the scene (such as a truck wiping them out)

Confidently use Set Target, Link to Target, & many other operators to connect actors together with ropes, then attach cuda cloth balloons to those ropes. A funny yet effective exercise in understanding tyFlow on a deeper level.

Combine several character animations and trigger them by conditions (they jump if there’s an obstacle then transition back to running etc. ) Blend between animations for smooth transitions.

Create a crowd of zombies climbing up a tower. They turn into ragdolls upon reaching the top & fall back down, hitting their fellow zombie friends along the way. Bind Pose Matching makes them move around even after they hit the ground.

Liquid color by velocity with Phoenix & tyFlow

Hang objects on ropes, generate binds between surfaces, cut ropes with tySlicer

Use Phoenix FD sim data to color tyFlow particles.

Detailed object reveals

Phoenix FD Cloth tearing

Use the VDB Sphere packing feature, Set target & connect with strings

Use textures to control the look and behavior of particles

Particle physics, scale & color based on conditions

Bonus example: Cloth Splitting

Bonus example: Metal net / cuda cloth
…and so much more

40+ Unique tyFlow Project Files Included ($997 value)

I know what you’re thinking – $997 value sounds like a lot. But every single one of these project files can immediately be used on paid client work. All you have to do is open the file, import your client’s product model (or anything else), and run the simulation. No setup process. If someone were to hire my studio to setup all of these effects, I would charge upwards of $25,000. Included are project files for everything in the trailer and above images plus many additional project files to supplement the video lessons throughout the course. I’ve been told before that I should sell the project file separately, because they’re as valuable as the course itself. However, I’ve decided to include them with the course.
“tyFlow added a new dimension to my 3D work, and Jesse tackled explaining it with ease, in a clear & focused manner, leaving you able to bring your own ideas to life. I would recommend RedefineFX to anyone.”
– Martin Russell, 3D Artist & Managing Director at Assurgent Design
Oh the overwhelm of not knowing how to use all the tyFlow operators…

“Short, precise, and most importantly inspiring. Jesse’s training helped me understand how to setup simulations & bring my work to the next level.”
– Andreas Mass, 3D Artist

Got questions?
Do I need to take the Basecamp before Deepdive?
While the Deepdive is still a beginner-friendly course, unlike the tyFlow Basecamp, it is not made for absolute beginners. It’s recommended that you’re familiar with tyFlow prior to taking the Deepdive, as I won’t be spending extra time covering the absolute fundamentals. If you’re a newbie to tyFlow, the Basecamp is a great place to start before taking the Deepdive.
While there is a small amount of overlap between the 2 courses, the Deepdive is a natural continuation of the Basecamp & covers a ton of new operators and techniques that didn’t make it into the Basecamp at all (including a huge chapter on tyActors, VDB, custom properties, Set Target and much more) and is a direct jump into the action right form the start.
Do I need tyFlow Pro to follow this course?
You can follow the entire course with the free last available tyFlow BETA. You can also follow majority of the course with the newest tyFlow Free, with exception of CUDA cloth, as CUDA-acceleration is only enabled inside tyFlow Pro.
What other software do I need?
3Ds Max (free trial available) is necessary. Several effects rely on Chaos Phoenix (free trial available). Vray (free trial available) is recommended since that’s what I’ll be using, however you can render tyFlow with other render engines also. We’re using After Effects for some simple compositing and color correction.
We’ll be using characters from Mixamo for the tyActor lessons (free with your Adobe subscription). If you don’t have that, no worries – any .FBX or Biped human character from the web will do just fine. The default 3Ds Max biped is included inside the project files to get you going.
When does the course start and finish?
This is a completely self-paced online course. I’ve made the lessons bite-sized so you can make progress every day without feeling overwhelmed.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.
What PC do I need for this?
You don’t need a high-end PC to follow along with the course. A standard quad core machine with at least 16GB ram will be sufficient. For CUDA accelerated simulations, 1070 GTX or higher is recommended.
Are the project files included?
Yes. All of the project files are included so you can just open the file and look at my settings if at any point you’re stuck. Or you can just straight up use them for commercial work. All good with me.
Do I get a Certificate?
Yes! Upon completion of all lessons, you will automatically receive a unique Certificate of Completion.
