    Next Update i wish u put " Wet Map funtion" to make it more realistic

      Thanks for the review! A function to automate generating wetmaps would be very useful to avoid the manual work of setting this up in the scene. We had this type of feature in development, but we are currently waiting for Blender bug fix or a workaround to make this function possible (reported here: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/117186).

    Desperately needs a preset thumbnail inventory to abstract away the complex workflows of figuring out viscosity/bubbles etc. Additionally, simulating small water detail collisions with deforming meshes seems borderline computationally unfeasible even on an rtx3070. A lot of work just to get a silly lawn sprinkler effect. Also, stopping the inflow also pauses the sim, so our sprinkler freezes its stream mid air. lol funny, but a waste of money for the scene we needed. =)

      Thanks for the review and feedback! The FLIP Fluids addon simulator runs entirely on the CPU, so the RTX 3070 GPU will not aid in the simulation computation, only the render. More information on CPU usage and performance can be found on this page: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Performance-Notes-and-Tips Feel free to contact us here or at [email protected] if you run into any issues - some of the problems described may be able to be avoided with some adjustments to the simulation setup.

    After trying to follow a tutorial on making fluid simulations and being floored, I decided to give this a go, because frankly it looked amazing. And yeah, it is amazing. It's simple to get started...I am a beginner with 3D, but this makes it fun. Thank you.

    I am floored at how good this addon is. It can handle inflow sizes at lower resolutions that Blender's native fluid simulation couldn't DREAM of. I also greatly appreciate how much work went into making it actually easy to apply materials to the fluids, and change its parameters all within the Flip Fluids UI. The explanations of what everything does by hovering over are also greatly appreciated.

      Thanks for the review! There's a lot of settings in the UI - great to hear that the tooltips explanations have been helpful and that you're enjoying the addon.

    I made this purchase today only because you said we get FLIP 2.0 for free. Thank you for the soul crushing work you put in to make this masterpiece.

      Thanks for the support! From the start we have always had a goal to provide all updates to the addon at no extra cost, even for large updates such as the FLIP Fluids 2.0 project. It has truly been a delight for us to continue development of the addon over the years, and it's largely due to the kindness and support from the Blender community that has made this a wonderful experience.

    Incredibly stable! I killed Blender over 100 times by built-in fluid sim, but this sim never kill Blender.

    Still fantastic and so useful in 2023!! It blows my mind that this is created by non-blender devs for how fantastic and well thought out it is.

    Every little thing you might want in an add-on is here. Considerations for ease of selection, ease of baking and rendering, ease of just general use and most of all FANTASTIC documentation. The answer I need is almost always already written and even the one time I couldn't find it, the devs got back to me immediately and helped me fix my issue no problem.

    This is worth your money!!

    super hard to work with. some times it kinda works but you try to do the exact same thing later with the same settings and it doesn't work anymore. very inconsistent and hard to use
