- In this video, I introduce you to using the fluid simulation add-on Flip Fluids for Blender. This add-on can be used to create amazing simulations of Fluids inside of Blender. In this video, we'll talk about setting up your first simulation by setting up a domain and a custom Fluid Object, then rendering an animation of that Fluid!

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Flip Fluids in the comments below!
I brought flip fluids yesterday
Perfect - this should be a good place to start! :)
This was a good tutorial
Thanks 😁
I'd really like to see a tutorial for Mantaflow instead. I don't want to spend money on an add-on when Blender has a perfectly fine fluid solver build in 😊
Thank you for this . I just purchased Flip Fluids and this will help a great deal. xx
Thanks for taking the time to cover this powerful addon! Since this video at 5500+ sales it now sits at 7200+
Looking forward to more tutorials in this!
It's gonna be fun! :)
This is fascinating! I have some questions though. I'm attempting to make a beach scene for Daz Studio using Blender, it is going to be large and I want to create low waves lapping on the shore. I don't render in Blender, just Daz Studio.
My questions are; can the fluid be exported as a obj file at various stages of the simulation (to later create wave morphs)? What are the scale limitations for the liquid, can it create a small slice of ocean? Will I need to turn the beach plane I created into a diorama style solid?
Thank you for the video, you describe things concisely and without unnecessary additions. I appreciate that.
THANK YOU. ITS SO MYCH FUN
New Subscriber! Great content just need to find time to watch it all :) Was looking at making a few cool screen savers of coke, beer, wine juice, and water filling up the computer screens at work over 20min or so, from the bottom up so all you see is the water rising without a visual fluid input. Looks like Flip Fluide would make life a lot easier with the built-in materials. Do you do commission work?
Cheers Nic
As per usual Buddy, Great video. You sold me on Flip Fluids and am getting it next pay. Can I make the fluid follow a path? Thanks.
I am wanting to create an animation where an object (a car) rises out of a fluid (with a specific image texture on the fluid). Think Hydro-dip. The vehicle rises up out of the fluid and it appears the fluid is texturing the vehicle (vehicle is already textured with a texture). So the vehicle rises out of the fluid and the fluid disappears once the car is fully risen.
Similar to when you see a navy seal rise out of the water from below.
Can flip fluids do this? How would I get started on a effect like this?
Is there any option we can render the fluid in spherical shape I made a scene with waves which is in cubical form so I want to render it in cylindrical so I want to hide the outside mesh and particles.
Question im trying to like make a scene with this with a godzilla mesh / model i made the body a obstacle but it doesnt work help?
Maybe you should use Cycles for liquid simulation... Because is better water material and some refraction.
does flip fluid plugin export the foam spray as an alembic file ?
Am I the only one who always gets a heart attack after 00:00? :DDD
I know this video is from a while back, is flip fluids any faster than mantaflow?
HELLO, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO EXPORT THE FLUID BAKE INTO MESH TO TAKE TO ANOTHER APP? THANKS.
Covid lockdown smashed me financially so I'll have to give this one a miss but great tutorial as always.
Hey. Nice vid :) dont see what version you are using? This simulation method of flip fluids(behaviour) reminds me 2.80 blender. Am i right? Does flip fluid addon works on Blender 2.8 fluid engine system ? Currently im on 2.93 and i would say i preffer 2.80. Im still studying Blender 2.93 fluid simulation but honestly after 3 hours in 2.80 fluid simulation i rly like it.
No clue - I didn't use the Blender 2.8 fluid system
I have a problem: I baked the simulation, the geometry in the viewport looks amazing, but when I render it's chunky and missing parts. Am I missing a final step?
I like the tutorials they help me understand faster. Reminds to work smarter which makes things fun and quicker.
Awesome - glad I could help!
nice video, im pretty sure you can do the same with the quick liquid option
Which quick liquid option?
@@TheCGEssentials in blender 2.92 you can grab an object and search (F3) for Quick Liquid. it will make the object a liquid just as the addon you show
I'll have to look at that, but there's a LOT more to this add-on than what I showed in this video since it's a beginner tutorial - the power of this add-on is much more apparent with more complex simulations
Another spiffing video! Could you also do one on Mantaflow?
Possibly at some point - haven't really done much with Mantaflow yet. Do you know if they got any of the performance issues ironed out yet?
@@TheCGEssentials I haven't heard about any progress....
@@TheCGEssentials im on frame 70/400... its taking an hour and a half per frame. SEND HELP I DONT WANT TO STOP IT AGAIN. also i can't touch blender tabs too much or it'll crash... seriously dying on the inside.
for me rendering does all 1024 sample in each frame is there anyway to speed up the process? btw i noticed while you were rendering i didn't see any sample on top of your screen, AM I missing something?
can someone please explain to me how I can change teh settings to how much water gets emitted? I'm trying to make a river but the liquid is just taking over the entier domain :/ And the outflow box im using at the end of the river doesnt appear to be working for some reason. But the immense amount of liquid is making it impossible for me to work with for this scene :(
hey how to I convert a flip fluid simulation to a still mesh that wont change
I messing around with flip fluids. Still new to blender. I am trying to make boiling water with the native particles system but the flip fluid dont collide with blender particles system. Any ideas for a workaround?
No clue - I'm not even sure if Flip Fluids interacts with Blender Particles like this...
my water is just pasning tru the object, and i have set the object to obstical. does anyone know whats wrong?
i also got another problem, when im simulating the water gets super big, is my addon broken? cuz nothing works properly
Why the blender stopped rendering in this vid ??? How to fix it? Mine was super jerky and stopped the way it stopped in the vid even if 250 key frames were rendered.
Hi, could you please make words dripping for a tutorial. Because I try to find flip fluid, but was not there, could you help me on that?
I realized you have to pay flip fluids, but could you make a tutorial of dripping words?
i have a very bad problem:i dont got the foam texture i dont got alot of textures like that
Actually it is a "free and opensource" add-on. The license of Flip Fluidis GPL V3, you can clone and build the addon by yourself. Of course it needs some knowledge on how to build opensource project.
I'm not sure what exactly you're getting at with this comment....
@@TheCGEssentials 0:28 is not right, actually every one can get source code from their github that you shown(the documentation Wiki page is their source github site), then compile to build the add-on achieve and install in FREE.
th-cam.com/video/J8k1CNzxI3I/w-d-xo.html, overall is work, but need some IT knowledge (compile and build using CPP compiler) as some source folder structure changed.
@@mankwongng4356 Feel free to download and compile code yourself I suppose if they're making it available. Lol - it looks like based on the comments on that video it's already not working the way it's demonstrated
its actually the hell slow bake for 64res
HOW COME I DONT GET THE PRESETS IN FLIP FLUIDS, WHY IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE SETTINGS.....?? WONDER WHY??
HOW to Add Surface Material Flip Fluids
Better than mantaflow
It is sad though that because of my country's difficult policy on the access of forex, I am deprived of this addon even though Blender do have a FLIP section in physics.
Ooh - sorry to hear that
No problem pal! It is what it is!@@TheCGEssentials
i downloaded it for free
Sounds like you might have stolen it then...
@@TheCGEssentials yeah. lol😂 I have a request. please make a video on how to fill moving objects with fluid
@@matrixllc6423 Stealing software or add-ons is not acceptable on this channel. You'll have to get help somewhere else
@@TheCGEssentials i can't call it stealing. i checked YT for free flip fluid and somebody came up with the link. i just downloaded it.
there are people like me out there, who can't afford this $76 for an add-on but have a great passion inside to learn stuff like these with an average computer. you cannot hesitate that at some point in life, you also used counterfeit software or games. i liked your videos, they are good. if you can't help me, i'll ask somebody else who is ready to help people like me.😊
@@TheCGEssentials It's not steeling, the developer of that add-on himself has made the source code publicly available and if you know how to compile it (also they "developers" have provided instructions to compile it on github) so you can use it for free I guess some features are not present, but if you want to support development then you can buy it.
