    I was a bit hesitant before buying FLIP Fluids, but it's absolutely worth it. The amount of control is amazing and the customer support is quick and helpful. I think it's the best support I have ever came across!

    Pfffiou....!!! Very worth the money spent !
    FF is easy to get started with if you take the necessary time to read the documentation and to watch and at least the 1st one of the provided video tutorials .
    Stable and featured, results are impressive.
    A pro tool (with some mentioned limitations), affordable, with no subsciption... Thank you !

    One of the best addon made for Blender. With a very good documentation. Thank you guys!

    In awe, this is incredible. I wish I knew about this sooner. So easy to grasp. The stability of it with Blender is remarkable. Things just work way faster!!!

    Flip Fluids is a good addon to have but I can't give it 5 stars for a few reasons.

    1. Extremely slow development/updates (For having around $775,200+ in sales, this addon should be seeing rapid development.)
    2. Documentation is seriously lacking in areas people actually care about, like (Large Oceans, Rivers, ...)
    3. Simulations are slow. (The same simulations are 5x faster on houdini with my RTX 2060 Super)

    Since purchasing this addon, I have found $399 every two years for Houdini to just be a better option if you're looking for fluid simulations..

    This is a fantastic add-on! However, it has some bugs. If you have a moving object that doesn’t have a rigid body system attached to it and there’s liquid sloshing around inside the object, it will lose volume quickly. I’ve tried everything and it will not work. If your object is stationary it works wonderfully! I had to return it, however, I wish I didn’t. It’s a great add-on.

      Thanks for the review! Unfortunately, perfect volume conservation is a common limitation in liquid simulation systems. For more information, we have a topic on the limitations of the FLIP Fluids addon here: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Limitations-of-the-FLIP-Fluids-addon#volume-and-mass-preservation

    I went to change the material on the simulation fluid while baking. Something that should have no bearing on the simulation. It crashes blender. The videos are deceptive, as the settings they use do NOT resemble the output of the addon if used exactly as demonstrated. It does mostly do what it claims, however. For $76 each license I would expect the software to be tested, documented, and supported through modern channels. While the documentation is passable, the rest is a mess. I've had this add-on for less than a week and have already seen it cause half a dozen crashes, something that happens rarely for me in Blender these days.

    For those reasons I am giving this add-on an 'average' rating. Bring the cost down, improve the testing, actually verify your software... and maybe it will go up. As usual, ratings are skewed overly high for this product, just like is seen on Amazon. This is not the best add-on ever, nor is it the worst - but it can MOST CERTAINLY be improved exponentially in both quality and efficiency.

    The best Fluid simulation

    Way easier to compute and stable than Mantaflow.

    I've only been using this for a few days and getting amazing results. I would love to see the flip fluid crew do some more tutorials on YouTube!
