Blender 3 & 4 – Flip Fluids v1.7.4 Update Crack 2024Download
version 1.7.4 (Jan 22 2024)
FLIP Fluids 1.7.4 is a small update to mainly add bug fixes and improvements to the command line tools.
Video Overview: https://youtu.be/9-KKKYnTcd8
Compatibility Notes:
FLIP Fluids 1.7.4 is officially supported in Blender 2.80 to Blender 4.0.
Blender 4.1: At this moment there are no known compatibility issues between this version of the FLIP Fluids addon and the latest daily build of Blender 4.1, but this may change as Blender 4.1 develops.
Added: Render During Bake option to the FLIP Fluid Sidebar > Command Line Bake Tool to render the simulation as frames are completed baking (Documentation).
This bake and render mode will require more system memory.
Tip: When starting or resuming the command line process, the render will begin from the first frame by default. If you want to skip already rendered frames, disable the Blender Output Properties > Output > Overwrite setting.
The Render Instances value can be set to control the maximum number of render instances to run simultaneously. This controls how many frames are allowed to be rendered at the same time. More render instances maximizes system resource usage if the simulation is running faster than the render, but will require more RAM and also GPU VRAM if rendering on the GPU.
Added: Option to FLIP Fluids Preferences Menu to autosave the Blend file before launching command line operators (Documentation).
Command line operators require the Blend file to be saved for changes to take effect within the command line process. If enabled, the Blend file will be automatically saved when using command line operators so that manual saving is not necessary.
Enabling this option is recommended to prevent accidental render issues.
This option is disabled by default so that it does not interfere with any user versioning systems or preferences.
Added: Command line frame and animation operators can now be accessed in the Blender > Render > FLIP Fluids CMD Render menu.
Added: Shortcut keys for the command line frame and animation operators. Shift + F12 for frame render and Shift + Ctrl + F12 for animation render.
UI: Command line batch frame rendering mode will now display an error popup if the render output is set to a video format.
UI: Added UI warning to Domain > Surface > Surface Attributes submenu that surface attributes will not be loaded in surface mesh Preview mode. This warning will be displayed if both the mesh is in Preview mode and any surface attributes are enabled.
Change: FLIP simulation objects that are disabled in the viewport (outliner monitor icon) will no longer be included within the simulation.
In past versions, the addon would attempt to export these objects, but the result could be unpredictable in certain situations due to the objects not being fully evaluated in the viewport.
A side effect of this change is that individual object or collections of objects can now be quickly excluded from the simulation within the outliner.
Change: Domain > Simulation > Domain Boundary Collisions > Open Boundary Width setting now has a soft minimum value of 2. We do not recommend setting this value lower. The default value of 4 is recommended as a good value for general use.
Bug Fix: Fixed issue where fluid may not be removed correctly a domain boundary if an inflow intersected with an open domain boundary side.
Bug Fix: Fixed issue where fluid particles outside of a custom domain meshing volume would be exported instead of ignoring these particles.
Bug Fix: Fixed issue where the command line Alembic export tool could incorrectly export instances instead of vertices if instances were being loaded into the viewport.
Bug Fix: Fixed integer overflow bug that could result in displaying a negative performance score.
Bug Fix: Fixed error message that could be triggered if viewport screen layout information was not available during save or when using the Copy System & Blend File Info operator.
Bug Fix: Fixed AttributeError error message that could be triggered during render if the FLIP Fluids Sidebar > Measure Object Speed Tool > Update on frame change option was enabled.
Bug Fix: Fixed non-human-readable error message in popup window that could be triggered if file permission errors were encountered during simulation bake.
Bug Fix: Missing declaration of uint16_t, that could result in a compile error (issue #630).
Improvement: Simulation frames will now compute faster when there is no fluid in the domain.
What is the FLIP Fluids addon?
The FLIP Fluids addon is a tool that helps you set up, run, and render liquid simulation effects all within Blender! Our custom built fluid engine is based around the popular FLIP simulation technique that is also found in many other professional liquid simulation tools. The FLIP Fluids engine has been in constant development since 2016 with a large focus on tightly integrating the simulator into Blender as an addon. It just feels like a native Blender tool!
With our reputation for delivering high quality software and outstanding customer support, the FLIP Fluids addon is one of the best selling products on the Blender Market.
Over 10000 copies sold, 5 star rating, excellent value

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Blender’s Mantaflow FLIP simulator and the FLIP Fluids addon?
Have any questions? Do not hesitate to ask us here or at [email protected]!
Whitewater Effects
Create awesome large scale fluid effects with the whitewater simulator. Generate and simulate millions of foam, bubble, and spray particles to give a sense of realism to large bodies of water.
High Viscosity Effects
Use the high accuracy viscosity solver to simulate thin silky-smooth liquids, thick fluids that buckle and coil, and anything in between. You will be able to simulate thicker fluid in Blender than you could ever before!
Surface Tension and Sheeting
Create beautiful small-scale fluid effects with surface tension and add particle sheeting to create large thin splashes. Simulate the natural cohesion of surface molecules that cause fluids to form into beads, drip, and add an elastic look to splashes.
Custom Built Force Fields
We built our own custom force field system designed specifically for popular liquid effects! Volume forces for forming liquid shapes, surface forces for aligning gravity to surface normals or to help liquid stick to surfaces, and curve forces for guiding liquid to flow and spin along a curve.
FLIP and APIC Solvers
Choose between FLIP and an APIC simulation methods! FLIP is turbulent and chaotic – good for large scale splashy simulations. APIC is smooth, stable, and swirly – good for small scale or viscous simulations.
Why choose FLIP Fluids?
Fluid simulation software can be intimidating, complex, and difficult to work with, but it does not need to be. We believe that usability should come first when designing a simulation tool. A simulator might contain the most advanced technology in the world, but if it is not usable, reliable, and flexible, it will not be a tool that is useful or enjoyable to the artist.
Our goal is to improve on many aspects of the built-in Blender fluid simulator such as usability, stability, customization, and to prevent common problems that we see artists encounter when working with simulation systems. We want to provide you with the tools, learning resources, and workflows to assist you in creating beautiful effects as quickly and as painlessly as possible.Â
