- Watch the new TyFlow tutorial for 3ds max covering how to create lightning effects with tyflow.
In the meantime - Click here to subscribe so you don't miss out on future videos: tinyurl.com/al...
Check out the tyflow lightning tutorial - this is a 3ds max tutorial on how to create lightning effects procedurally through advanced particle features and dynamics. Whether it's lightning or electricity effects, you can create tyflow destruction and realistic effects simulation.
This is for 3DS Max 2020 and 3DS Max 2019.
This also touches on 3ds max vray rendering (chaos group) and other vfx related topics for cgi.
I plan to put out multiple tutorials around this, so this isnt necessarily a tyflow beginner tutorial but similar to the avengers vfx beakdown I did on for my 'Allan McKay Inner Circle' that you might have seen previously.
The same process can be created for Houdini or Maya, cinema4d or Blender 3D or other packages. So as much as this is a tyflow vray tutorial it is also a all round visual effects tutorial.
As an FXTD this is critical for many shots whether it's thor or thanos portal or other marvel avengers vfx that we want to create.
You can tie this effect into Chaos Group PhoenixFD for some really amazing effects.
Make sure to check out my tyflow ash tutorial here -
and my tyflow sand tutorial and others are on my CZcams channel
Definitely a great step to building your fx reel as an fx artist and make sure to check out the other vfx tutorials on 3D computer animation tyflow smoke grains destruction and more.

Thank you Allan. So cool. You always create the best tutorials and I like how you explain the design process. Cheers! 👍
Thanks so much Rob! I appreciate it brother!
The final render probably looks awesome! But in the future can you show the render after texturing everything at the end or the beginning?
Sure in will keep that in mind
Showing the render process is the GOLDEN step that most people leave out... if you could give any insight - cheers :)
Hi Allan, Thanks for the tutorial. Question: How can someone dislike this tutorial? It is so awesome.
haha thanks buddy - it's always the same 3 people - pretty much for every 100 likes there'll be one salty person who dislikes everything. Doesn't bother me in the slightest :) Thanks for your kind message!
I hope I'm not commenting too early but here goes...
I'd really like to incorporate this into a reel for one of my releases with 2 additions..
1) is there a way to have the particles on the ship and frame move slightly along an edge whilst the lightning is active, (giving a bit of motion to the lightning.. Think terminator 2 / 3 intro scenes or a tesla coil)
And 2) have the lightning arc slightly between the two points instead of being in such a straight line
Great tutorial dude, subbed and hoping to join patreon or wherever you said the private group is 🫶🏻
so much valuable. I love in programming loops , conditions , functions , boolean etc and we can use them here all wow !!
Great Tutorial Allan. This will help with some of the idea's I have been wanting to do for several shorts that I am working on. Can't wait to see the follow up tutorials. Thanks for all of your efforts and explanations. It really helps to understand your approach and thinking towards problem solving while developing a project.
Thanks so much man! Sorry for the late response
Always, makes everything easier to understand. Thank you Allan sir. 😀
Thanks so much Jay!
Thank you Allan for everything we can learning thanks to you
That's so great Stephen! Thank you
thank you allan
Thank you! This will help a lot. I used the Thor training on a class project.
That's so cool David!
Very cool! Thanks, Allan!
Havent even watched the whole video but I know its gonna be gooood!! Coincidentally, I've been trying to learn my way around Houdini and am learning how to create lightning there too haha! Although 3ds max tyflow and Houdini are really different softwares, I'm pretty sure the concept should be same. Right?
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm learning Houdini thanks to your advice you've given me in your last video so yeah :) Hope I dont abandon that beast of a software like I've done so many times in the past haha!
Anyway, thank you so much Allan. You're the best!! :)
That's great Eric! Yeah honestly they're all the same concepts. I was able to pick up Houdini extremely fast because I had done so much in max prior. It meant instead of struggling with how something works, it's more "where's this feature" in the interface.
Good luck! I'll be putting out some Houdini tutorials shortly too in January
@@AllanMcKay That's amazing! Super excited for it!! Thanks! :)
@@AllanMcKay oh that would be amazing im trying to learn houdini too
@@AllanMcKay I'm waiting for your Houdini tutorial sir
Very cool man, thanks
Anytime Jesus!
Thank you Allan
Well done, Sir Allan great lecture
Thank you Arshad
Great tutorial as always! I had learned a lot from you since the start of your FumeFx tuts. Really helped me a lot with my projects. more power and keep on sharing great techniques.
Thanks so much I hope to make more very soon
@@AllanMcKay thank you! Just signed up in your inner circle!🙂
@@ritzer76 that’s so great man!
thanks sir .very well explained
Best from The Best.
Thanks man I'm honored
@@AllanMcKay You are welcome.
I've noticed 3 things about lightning/big electric maybe it helps.
1. The bolt rises. The air superheats, and like arcing big transformers, the electric Sparks tend to drift up.
2. The heat creates intense intra turbulence, so a smooth bolt of lightning very quickly becomes jagged and kinked and ropy as the air is violently disturbed.
3. The spark changes color temperature with time, going violet to orange as it cools.
Your videos are amazing
Can you make a beginner crash course to 3ds max or tyflow
I have subscribed make it small part series
Love your work. Keep doing more☺️☺️👍👍
yes , need fireworks tutorial with tyflow ..please
Check out my beginner Tyflow tutorial it is on fireworks :)

Thanks Allan. Always helpful.
Hi Allan, i love to see more video tutorials on phoenix fd if possible. Thank you
am crying.. seriously tears of joy...sniff, sniff.. lets grab a beer and enjoy the video..hahaahahhahhh cheers
that's so great man! You had me at beer! 🍻
Yay...Lightning!⚡🤤
Yeah!! :)
Bro !
This will definitely help my showreel.😁
👍👍
Great man!
thanks for share your knowledge!
VFX legend !
Thanks so much!
nice help.. thank you for this great tutorial..!!
Thank you for everything
You're very welcome, thanks brother!
thank you Allan, very useful
Yes this was very nice.
Thanks a lot. Another good one.
Nice! :)
just scrubbed quickly... yeah... similar as Pflow... strong drag, and a little bit of turbulence.
I might try making lightning hit on invisible character, and spread all over it's body. Probably "position transfer" could be very handy if character is animated.
Btw, love the setting :) Spaceship in a barn. :) You should have put some cows in there, just for the sake of fun. :)
sounds great man!
Sir please make a video on Fireflies in Jar using tyflow !
I'm sure if you ask Andrey Lebrov nicely he'll make one on that :) I loved how much of a creative idea that was to put that in is videos! But sure I would e happy to, it's pretty straight forward, although I think Andrey doing it would have much more context either way happy to :)
@@AllanMcKay I have learned that Dr. Strange portal with tyflow but it will taking so much time to understand, I think starting with Fireflies in Jar would be a great start to learn tyflow. Yeah I have take that idea from Andrey
But he was doing in C4D and I am 3ds Max Lover ! I will still practice again to do it but it would be a great help if you make a video on it !
Thanks Man!
You're welcome Alexey!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Have always followed your tutorials and have learnt a lot. Still learning VFX and few more months to go before I pass out from my course and always looking forward learning a lot from you. Been trying for days to create lightning in scenes but with your tutorial I will be now. So thank you very much. Just one question. Is this process also used in Gaming or it's different in the gaming industry?
It can be, usually it’s sprites but rendering to sprites is similar process
You are awesome
Thanks so much Isa!
Awesome!!
Yes, keep it up, man!
thanks
Thanks for the tutorial...
What happened to the other electricity tutorials? ;) would be nice to see more like this
Macky awsome 😍😍
Thanks Shey!
Hmm
@@officialtech8263 lol
Hi bro
@@officialtech8263 hey
Love it, Thanks a lot
Thanks, Allan! As always you're great! One question: will you sometime make Houdini tutorials?
Can you make nebulas tutorial 😁😁
yes
yes.
It would be great if we can see how to do abstract fx in 3ds max with some plugins , like in Houdini . There is a lot of resource , on how to do in Houdini but its sad we can't learn it in 3ds max .
That's a good point David - I'll keep that in mind. Is there any specific topic or effect you want to see?
@@AllanMcKay Sci-fi abstract .
Ye i want more tyflow tutorial ...😀
love u !!!
I love you too! :)
Please Sir, can you make some tutorial or bootcamp using houdini
Great tutorial man! But for a beginner as me, it would probably be better if you provide the scene with the objects etc. right?
Is there tutorials for beginners and thanks
hello, sir it is possible to lightning with voronoi fracture? i try but voronoi not with find target and set target...plz Help sir..i love to watch your tutorial, and decide learn tyflow self...i attend your city distraction
and i learn lot of methods, thanks for that...
cool. I wish I want to learn from you but I dont have any 3ds max, Nuke or other but I have only blender, CAD that all.
hello, I seem to have problems with the scaling and i've been trying to get this to work for a couple of days. Do you have any advise?
Hello Allan,
Around 31:30 I lost you. Somehow I didn't get that blooming effect. I went back a few minutes but I don't see what went wrong.
First of all thanks for the tutorial and a job well done. I have not used Tyflow yet so, as for the question.
in this tutorial the child particles (particles on the surface of the ship) do not seem to stick and move on along the animation of the ship. I think locking the particles and redirecting the parent particles (wood particles) to stick to their respective points and generate the Electric arcs based on those very points would come off as something more natural. is there a way to achieve this in Tyflow?
I wish I could see the final render
Very interesting workflow. Do you know what would be equivalent to tyFlow in Maya?
Could u post your Rig specs pls? Do you use Quadro or GTX/RTX?
YES! :D
Wt about using maya instead of 3ds max
For the splines to have light would we just make a blue emissive shader?
Yeah I cover it at the end of the video, but use a vray light material, give it a falloff shader, make the enter white, the outer edges blue. that should do the trick! :)
Is there tutorials for beginners
czcams.com/video/Ip0lb50A39U/video.html
I made this tutorial - tyflow for beginners
where can I see them private tutorials.. I want to be with the elite too.... hang with the cool kids... thanks you Yipi MAckay!!
It's not available anymore, but I will be releasing a whole new series of training exclusively to my inner circle next week - so you can sign up at www.allanmckay.com/inside/
@@AllanMcKay looking forward to... thanks
I drink a coupe of Guinness to your name. hahahaahahah
Sir mackay what i learn max or houdini or aftereffects 😖😖😖
I think learn all of them to increase your opportunities. But start with one and really absorb everything
@@AllanMcKay i use maya for work as a prop guy in game studio but i really love animation which i practice at home i am really confuse
Sir....plz...
Teach me..maya skin collision....
Plz
Plz
Plz
Is there a scene to play with?
Yeees!
Thanks Jan!
@@AllanMcKay no problem really. I have a question actually, I'm using parts of your fire tutorial to make a frost spread effect, but I'm not sure how to fix an issue. Would you be willing to have a look at some vids, pics, and help out? It's probably super simple.. If yes, is there a better way of having this talk with you somewhere else than through CZcams? Discord or mail for example. Thanks
@@jangrashei1752 thanks Jan, I'll be completely honest - the next 15 days I'm pretty slammed day and night to get something out I've been working on for months.
But if you record a screen video walking through your problem I promise I'll do my best to give a few suggestions at least to try
Amckay@allanmckay.com just mention in the subject it's in regards to CZcams so my team doesn't file it away :)
I'd love to be more hands on but that's the best I can do right now
Let me know
And good luck!
@@AllanMcKay totally understandable. I'll try getting it working some more and then pack up some stuff. I'm pretty inexperienced with more "advanced" effects so yeah I do think this is simple in reality and the answer is possibly a single sentence. I'm not on a deadline for this as it's a passion project though, so if you wanna wait regardless that's no problem
@@AllanMcKay Alright, sent you an email now. Mentioning it here in case it got lost somewhere. I will wait.
No scene?
How to follow up?
Muito bom.
I've got a silly question..How do I render tyflow?
add 'mesh' node in tyflow editer and add material in tyflow icon
are you going to delete this tutorial latter or going to keep it free to all
?
hi
hi!
Sir can you make Harry Potter magic wand lightning 😁
Hello brother... I'm from India..i wanna become a vfx artist but im passionate about getting a job in abroad is it possible without experience.. please reply....
hi :)
I just see a bunch of easily crumpled ladders shooting out of my emitter object. :|
Yea 1 comment. 😬
:) Cheers Supriyo
3dMax is horrible user friendly heheh
I don't mind it personally, I guess everyone has their preference
Allan McKay are intimidating me hehehe 😜
@@sebastianviqueira6783 haha never my intent! :) Which program's interface do you prefer?
