Free 3ds Max tyFlow Character Ragdoll Scene (Simulation Lab)
Original title: 3ds Max +TyFlow TUTORIAL: Character Ragdolls +Scene Files!
Overview
tyFlow tutorial scene for 3ds Max from the Simulation Lab YouTube channel demonstrating character ragdolls. A Character Studio biped is set up as a tyActor, many actors are birthed into the scene, they look at and move toward a target, and a ragdoll effect is then triggered so the characters collapse under PhysX physics; no renderer is specified.
The scene is a single .max file of roughly 0.8 MB, shared as a free direct download from Dropbox in the video description, and tyFlow is required. Useful for crowd and character FX work where animated actors need to switch into physics.
