This paper explores the fracture and topology systems within TyFlow (tyFlow), a node-based simulation tool for Autodesk 3ds Max. We examine the engine’s approach to brittle fracture simulation, specifically focusing on the integration of Voronoi partitioning for geometry destruction and the underlying topology map (Connectivity Graph) that dictates structural integrity. Unlike traditional keyframe-based animation, TyFlow utilizes a procedural, event-driven architecture that allows for dynamic topology updates in real-time, enabling high-fidelity simulations of collapsing structures, concrete cracking, and rigid body dynamics with unprecedented artistic control.
