Intro to FLIP Fluids - Part 1: Getting Started [Blender Add-on Tutorial]

In this part 1 of Flip Fluids training for #Blender, we will explore the fundamental fluid objects and how they interact with each other. Then we will apply that knowledge and create a globe of water, swirling around a vortex force while whitewater particles are emitted. Enjoy and stay tuned for the next video in this series!

I bought Flip Fluids last year but, to my shame, I haven't really utilised it yet. So this has been extremely helpful, subscribed!

[emmaborger]

basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!

[sidsriramoffl]

So simple and detailed video, it's now going to help to start working wid softsoft!!

[uselessfarmer]

Love the tutorials and all the explanation, the only downside i would say is the distraction of the music. It's so unnecessary here while we are paying attention here trying to learn.

[jiaqishao]

[onur.nidayi.]

@2:12 In the latest iteration of Flip Fluid the Resolution is on the N tab panel at the top under 'Simulation set up' rather than on the Physics tab.

[leenkabha]

everytNice tutorialng, I really would pay for a webclass

[BuildEver]

Is your baking speed up? I have Ryzen 5950x, but same simulation as yours takes like 5-6 seconds single frame.

[Renatamf]

Great tutorial! A little piece of feedback on teaching - you moved a tad fast for a first year learner here and skipped thru vocal propts of what you were doing a lot of times. Other than that, great content, great creative and videos is flawlessly edited. Thank you so much for this video!

[TallyHD]

Good video. You have a new subscriber :)
