I've compiled it successfully and it worked. I'm not a VS guy. Just uninstalled everything I used to get this addon. Now it showing error like, "unable to load fluid engine library: " So it would be better if you let us know which installed software should we keep to make it work.... Thank you.
You can seriously uninstall the programs they are not required after compiling. The error you are getting is because of the fluid library that is normally called "pyfluid.dll". That's why you have to edit the python code a bit. Just make sure you did that and also make sure that you didn't messed up any files.
But if I super lazy or someone want to do this but can't, because they don't have an administrator , can i add other people's just download this addon?
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for this video since the time we never ever talked about Blender 2.8. I've 0 knowledge in the software list you used. But still able to follow the tutorial step by step and finally got this thing build. Thank you so much..
@@ecrax_ Yeah, thanks again. Frankly, I'm glad it was free. After kicking it around I found it to be REALLY slow, and the workflow a little rough. It's quite hard to iterate and try new settings compared to something like RF. I know RF is in a different ballpark, but still. It's really great that they're working on it, but it's a little rough...especially for $80.
@@AndyTanguay Hi Andy, the add-on may be slow due to be compiled incorrectly, which is why there is a need to modify so many of the files. The video shows the add-on being compiled in an unsupported compiler (MSVC is not supported which is noted in the project repository). We have had reports that compiling with MSVC can result in performance over 100x slower and some features will not compute correctly. I would suggest trying out the demo version of the addon to compare speed: github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/FLIP-Fluids-Demo-Addon
@@ryanguy4536 OH! No kidding!?! Well that makes sense. I just made a new 16 core Ryzen machine and thought it would rip through what I was throwing at it. I'll go try it.
Thank you SO much for this!!! I was so sure it wouldn't work because stuff like this never works for me, but I actually managed to do it with your great explanations! Again, thank you thank you thank you!

@@sagarbhau5072 hey Sagar ............. i need this addon ...... please can send it to me google drive or wetransfer ....... please and thank you so much man
@@mohammadabualsamen17 U NEED TO BUY IT FROM OFFICIAL SITE I TRIED INSTALLING BUT IT WAS CORRUPTED FILE SO I USE IT IN OUR STUDIO WHERE I WORK I DONT USE IT PERSONALLY I DONT HAVE THAT I USE REALFLOW FOR FLUID SIMULATIONS
I did everything to the point where you add the addon in blender. Blender says to restart Blender 2.81 in order for the addon to install, in the video you add the addon install instantly but i have to restart it is this normal?
I got the error 'Cannot find fluid engine libraries: '. See system console for error info. any ideas on what i should do? this is happening when i bake the mesh
I've had an error "Traceback (most recent call last):" while trying to enable the add-on after copying it the directory. I've solved it by deleting "types.py" file inside Add-on folder. If anyone facing this issue try that It will work. (However make a backup of that file. Instead of deleting it move it to somewhere safe)
I realize I am two months too late but I had the same issue as you just now and was able to find a way past it. I will do my best to explain. Go into the CMakeLists.txt... okay for the red dots if you scroll to the bottom find "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/.gitignore" I just deleted that whole line and saved the file and that got rid of the red dots. Next to get the pyfluid project I did this... there is a section inside CMakeLists.txt that opens pyfluid but its in an if statement checking to see if you are opening with pyfluid module. I just deleted this if statement. It should start on line 162 or near it assuming our .txt file looks identical. Just delete the line if(WITH_PYFLUID_MODULE) then the endif() at the very bottom of the chunk. They will be on the same column so it is easy to see they go together. Finally for the bl_flip_fluids I basically did the same thing of deleting an if statement. This one on line 151 delete if(WITH_ENGINE_TEST) and the endif() on the same columns under the chunk of code that talks about bl_flip_fluids. Hopefully this is helpful. If you are having issues finding the stuff I mentioned try pressing ctrl F and look up the things I said to delete.
Last thing... remember to save the CMakeLists.txt file then once you generate the code like in video all 6 projects should be available with no red dots
Well sadly the guy who made the addon is asking for money so he made it impossible to do this right now.. Kinda sad.. People should be able to do this for free instead of giving out money
so let me crash some dreams. If you can't afford to buy it than probably you also can't afford a top workstation. If you don't have a top workstation, i mean like $5000 up at least, than this software is unusable. You will just waste your time trying to fiddle with settings and countless trials and you just won't get what you want. The main issue is that the LowRes simulations and the HighRes simulations are completely different so it's impossible to get a approximation of what you're doing unless you simulate in high res. And for instance, a simple splash simulation at the recommended resolution (300), on my i7 -8750 @2.2 / 32gb RAM laptop is estimated at 50 hours. Besides that, great software.
If you have any questions or ideas for other tutorials just post them here :D.
