Allof tyFlow is contained within a single .dlo plugin file for each version of 3ds Max. Simply place the appropriate tyFlow_2XXX.dlo file into your 3ds Max 2XXX plugins directory and installation is complete.

The default plugin directory for 3ds Max is located here:



C:\Program Files\Autodesk[3ds Max version]\plugins



However, if you have configured 3ds Max to load plugins from another directory, you can place the appropriate tyFlow plugin file there instead. tyFlow can be loaded from a shared network folder, if you want multiple machines to load tyFlow from the same place on a network.


If you are using a tyFlow PRO floating license, you can place tyFlow_licenseServer.exe (included in the same download package as the regular tyFlow DLO files, from version 1.00003 and above) anywhere on the machine you wish to act as your license server. For convenience it might make the most sense to place it in the same folder as the tyFlow DLO files - especially when those files are located on a shared network folder. That way, each time you install a new tyFlow version, everything is in the same place and can easily be updated.


The latest Tyflow update 1.111 integrates the full suite of ComfyUI right inside 3dsmax. You can use controlnets like zdepth from viewport to drive the stable diffusion results, use characters to drive the pose of your resulting images, use animations, upsampling and way more. Everything with one simple click install, and a browser to easily install any additional model.


Tyson Ibele: The toughest part of development is keeping up with the scope of the project. Each individual feature might be somewhat simple on its own, but when there are hundreds of features that need to work across all different kinds of hardware configurations, 3ds Max versions, renderers, etc, ensuring reliable, bug-free performance can be quite a challenge. Since tyFlow is just my hobby (I also work full-time for a visual effects company called MAKE), I need to keep very focused and organized to avoid completely burning out.


Tyson Ibele: Many details concerning the official release are still undecided, but anyone can participate in the beta for free. All they need to do is download tyFlow from and install it for 3ds Max (version 2016 or newer).


Thanks for the report. It is hard to tell just from this, could you please follow this guide and send us some logs from the faulty pc: -do-i-collect-my-render-manager-logs-and-send-them-to-pulze-support


After some testing I found that the machines with Corona installed in the default location worked, and the ones with Corona installed on D: did not work. Having removed Corona, all machines worked and when I reinstalled Corona - this time to the default location - RM continued to work on all machines (one PC took a couple of tries).
