How long did it take to develop

[AdrianGray]

I'm really amazed the plugin is finally accessible and in such a good shape, was looking forward for this day, Congrats!
I was wondering how long did it take to bring it to this point from the first day you started and what's your programming/maxsdk background?
Also if there are some interesting stories from the dev (including technical) will be nice to hear

Keep up good work! :thumbsup:

I've been working on tyFlow for years now, and have been coding for all of my adult life at this point. Never in a professional capacity besides scripting MXS and such, but I've released a few apps, written a lot of other internal production tools, etc. I think all of my practice over the years creating those smaller projects helped lead me to this big one. They all incorporated procedural elements so I guess that helped form my love for procedural generation, which translates nicely into particle FX.

Likely some C++

tyFlow is entirely c++, with the only exception being the script operator, which is bridged to c++ using c#

Just from curiosity, do you have math or any kind university degree?
