    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

    works for simple scenes or some middle level complex scenes but dont try to put fluid inside enclosed space as it can result in instability ... i made the mistake of trying to move the blender file with cache to another PC for rendering and some how this corrupted it (not sure if it was that) ... tried control Z .. tried append to new scene even tried to re simulate it ... all now result in that scene crashing blender

    tried applying scale to all mesh objects which oddly seemed to corrupt the blender save after trying to render it out

    in short ... if you want to simulate fluid in organic situations and have it look convincing without crashes ... dont use control Z or try to transfer the file to another PC (unless you aim to transfer BEFORE you simulate)

    when this addon works it really works well... much better than mantaflow .. sadly in my experience getting it to work is a dice roll at best even with the latest supposed updates it still is unstable and some areas lack definition in the domain settings panel in reference to size or impact

    if you want a weeks worth of headaches with the potential to corrupt your blender saves with the slim chance it works as intended then sure go ahead and buy this addon but if you are able to get mantaflow to work for you the dont ... the added fidelity of this addon is not worth corrupting blender saves and heaps of crashes just to get added detail in fluid sims

    i will edit this review when the stability problems are addressed and corrected

    I was a bit hesitant before buying FLIP Fluids, but it's absolutely worth it. The amount of control is amazing and the customer support is quick and helpful. I think it's the best support I have ever came across!
