    Its hard to explain how great this addon is, but Ill try. This addon is one of the best addons out there to save time and be more efficient in your projects, not only can you add items that you have created yourself unto the flow library but you can also add other libraries such as botanic, grasswald, rock essentials to name a few, the ability to add categories and subcategories makes this a godsend, for example, I have a library where I have included different types of rocks and being able to make a rocks folder and sub folder for the types of rocks like, dessert, sea, mossy, quartz is so usefull and makes each rock easily accesible because by not having them in my flow library I'd have to append them individually into my project every single time! And time wasted is money wasted plus a ton of pain haha. The new feature of painting lets me apply as many rocks as i want on a plane or object just by painting over it and makes it much easier than having to duplicate them a bunch of times over. I love how you can save worlds, and materials as well, theres so much efficiency that this addon brings that it is worth every penny. Plus the seller is super responsive so if you have any questions he gets back quickly.

    using it right now, thanks to the automation of the addon making/taking snapshots of my models is really easy, everything works as expected, pleasure to work with. What does the future hold? How about a implimentation of rigid body physics for the more natural scattering of smaller objects in the scene through the paint feature. That would be very cool!

    Great plugin! I must admit, that I didn't use any asset mangement tool for blender before. But with the growing number of models for different projects, slowly a library became necessary to not have to constantly search for the models in the many project files.
    Flow serves exactly that purpose for me. And now I'm in the process of transferring all my models into the Flow library and making them as flexible as possible with the custom properties.
    So far I had no special problems with the plug-in and all works really smooth.

    Absolutely love this plugin. Way better than the other asset management I used before. The only bug I've found is when using HardOps/BoxCutter adding a material to the library causes crashes. Disable them and it works a lot smoother.

    Just bought the plugin. I use blender on Linuxmint. Keeps quieting when trying to enable it after installation.

    It works, but I battled for hours to get the library path created (the place you'll store your assets). The trick is, you need to open a new blend file, DON'T SAVE IT, then create the path. The creator was very responsive, and as I understand it, is working on a solution.

    The support was insecure for those who wanted to build a stable modelling environment, as bugs were reported, contacted and not replied to, and not supported Docs were inadequate, and subtle bugs with each update were not addressed.
    I waited patiently for several months, but it seems to have been a waste of time.

    The 4.4 version has many bugs that have not been resolved, and there is no response to support.

    This used to be one of the greatest asset managers and then errors started creeping in, and when importing multple assets at the same time turns into chaos. I forced to move all my assets to another manager. Don't waste your money on this product.
