Tyflow has been a huge boost in productivity for 3ds Max artists. Its free version alone offers a lot of cool new possibilities, not only for motion graphics and visual effects, but also for modeling and other tasks.

Tyflow its very easy to learn, however the beginnings can be a little challenging. Theres a lot of resources scattered online, free and paid, where you will be able to learn all the new possibilities Tyflow has.

Here I recompile the ones I found more interesting, and I hope can be useful to you on the Tyflow learning journey.

If you have a question about a modifier or operator, the most common thing is to go to the Tyflow Documentation. Here every individual element is very well explained.
