Creating Wave Simulations with Blender’s Flip Fluids
Lucas Veber has shared an in-depth guide to creating waves in Blender with the amazing Flip Fluids add-on on 80.lv.
My name is Lucas Veber, I’m 29 and I am currently working as a freelance 3D artist for various studios and individuals. I’ve previously worked for movie productions as an animator (Minions, Despicable Me 3, Secret Life of Pets). I obviously love animating and rigging, and lately, I’ve been spending more and more time on technical things such as python addons development for rigging, and game development with Unity. Also, I’ve worked on fluid simulations with Realflow for a short student film (Contre-Temps), and with Blender for a Vietnamese animation studio. Later, as a personal project, I decided to create a beach scene with breaking waves in Blender.
Looks great. Full tutorial please. :)
I followed the link. I see the write up there. Thanks.
Just a headsup before anyone gets too excited, its a paid plugin
Awesome, Nice Tutorial Flip Fluid.
It’s not Blender’s Flip Fluids, it’s a paid add-on, despite the years of development Blender on its own cannot do that!
Amazing what Blender is capable of . . . with or without plugins! Awesome work!
Well, not really, every Blender add-on out there starts by explaining that you should buy it because Blender does a horrible job at whatever that add-on does. After buying books, making a couple of donations and spreading the word to support Blender’s development, having to pay for something developed on a 0 budget hurts bad, I wonder who’s responsible for recruiting such bad developers for Blender…
Flip Fluids for blender is really quite cheap at only $76. Compared to simulation solutions for other software packages. (i.e. Phoenix FD for 3ds max is around $1350?)
For hobby use, sure — I can see this as an annoyance. However, there is work being done to implement Mantaflow into Blender, if I am not mistaken?
The capabilities in Blender, is quite astounding, as it is a free to use application. Especially compared to other suites where you pay a hefty sum for the software, and then you add a lot of add-ons on top of that to achieve the result you want.
i think you are selfish
