In the latest Post-Post Podcast, David Gidali interviews Tyson Ibele about his life, career, games and, of particular interest to 3DS Max users, TyFlow – his eagerly anticipated new simulation software. Listen on the Post-Post website. TyFlow discussion starts in earnest at about the 1 hour point
Tyson has also released a couple more demos in action recently. In this first one we see how the cloth solver handles large amounts of input geometry.
And in the second we see a demo that combines different forces and effects.
Great potcast, great Tyson, great tyflow!
I have not heard the podcast, but I agree, great Tyson hehe
So I get negative punctuation for saying, “great Tyson!” ??
You don’t know since when do I know Tyson’s work! hahaha
Now I’ve heard the podcast and I can say again “great Tyson!” he has some good advice in the podcast for many people 🙂
Cheers!
(And they say I’m the hater LOL!)
Short answer for those wondering. I don’t know when I will release it will be soon.
Yes your right. Short answers. He’s talking like a lawyer. I really don’t think he will release it. I think it’s just to get more popularity. For himself.
I think he will release it at some point, but bear in mind that releasing a piece of software commercially (which I think he will do it commercially) is not an easy task, you have to be sure to deliver a proper piece of software, stable enough for end users, and that delivers what you claim it delivers not just in your specific cases but in all kinds of cases.
He will probably want to do some kind of beta testing with some users and after that plan for a release but being sure that what he sells is what he advertises, and that is not easy, it is a lot of work in the end apart form development and testing 🙂
He will release it at some point.
Cheers!
Thats not what i mean,I just meant the short answer for people who were wondering if he is getting into the details in the podcast.
What a rude remark dude.
Ty is spending already a few years of his own personal time and this is how you thank him?
unbelievable!
My, his samples are scary. I’m gonna have nightmares of white and black t-shirts smothering me to death.
Impressive as hell though!
Interesting how they talk about the “virality” or “flashiness” of the examples, I had the same thoughts about these.
I also like what he says about the time management, its kind of what I do with my shortfilm.
Nice interview! I can relate to what he said about working from home and animating characters.
He does mention that he hopes to release it in a couple of months from now.
And regarding beta testing: The plugin is been used heavily in production for quite some time in his full time studio, Make.
A possible downside to all this, could be that he’s alone and he prefers it that way.
It won’t be an easy task managing code, sales and end users at the same time, even for a machine, like Tyson. Wish him all the best though and i’ll be among the first adopters…
Whoa! Thanks CG Press for reposting this episode. It was indeed a huge honor to get to chat with Tyson after admiring his work for so many years.
Glad your readers found this interesting, and as we all probably know, he ended up releasing the first beta version around 2 weeks after the episode went up, and has been updating and debugging it with a huge supportive community at incredible speeds!
