Corona supports tyFlow mesh effects, such as particles and geometry modifications, as well as volumetrics, such as VDBs and Inferno fire simulations.
You can render millions of tyFlow particles with Corona.
You can also use tyFlow procedural effects and deformations.
Inferno fluid/fire simulations work out of the box as well.
Be sure to download the newest versions of Corona and tyFlow, and simply start using them together.

See below for basic troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting
1. How to enable motion blur?
For regular particles:
Simply enable it in Corona (either in Render Setup > Camera or in your currently used Corona Camera - see this article for more information: How to enable and control motion blur? ). Once motion blur is enabled in Corona, it will be applied to all animated tyFlow particles.
For Inferno simulations:
Make sure you have the Velocity grid enabled in your Inferno Recall (Sim (RAM)) operator. Then enable motion blur in Corona (either in Render Setup > Camera or in your currently used Corona Camera - see this article for more information: How to enable and control motion blur? ).
2. Is particle instancing supported?
Yes! Instancing helps greatly reduce RAM usage by loading a mesh into the memory only once, and then re-using this data if the mesh is duplicated in some way (e.g. spawning millions of particles using the same shape). The option which controls whether instancing is enabled or not when using tyFlow with Corona is "Enable Particle Interface". You can find it by selecting your tyFlow object and opening its "Interfaces" tab. When the "Enable Particle Interface" option is:
- On - Instancing is enabled, but it may be impossible to apply some 3ds Max modifiers to your tyFlow object.
- Off - Instancing is disabled, but 3ds Max modifiers can be applied to your tyFlow object.
3. I am getting extremely high RAM usage!
See point 2 above and make sure that you have the "Enable Particle Interface" option enabled in your tyFlow object.
4. I have found a bug / something is not working!
