    Once in a while you happen upon something life changing ... This is it. I have only used the addon for a day and I already know that this is the first addon I will install whenever I install a new version of Blender. Pure excellence!

      Thank you so much, Rikard. This really means a lot to me.

      People like you give real meaning to the work I’m doing and motivate me to keep creating better tools that can genuinely improve the daily workflow for many Blender users.

      And this is only the beginning — many more improvements and new ideas are ahead.

    Having used the spacemouse for sometime, the limitations is I still have to take my hands off of the spacemouse for various key combinations. This addon changes this, it gives great freedom of movement when navigating a scene. Developer listens to feedback and suggestions and strives to implement them. It is an amazing addon and well worth it. Highly recommend. Looking forward to future enhancements.

      Dale, that gap — hardware that frees your hand from the keyboard but forces you back the moment you need to do anything else — that's exactly what this is built around. Navigation 2.0 goes further in that direction. If you're on Discord, that's where the next version is being shaped right now.

    I saw less than 10m to learn new blender movement and I laughed, saw it was free and thought why not. Felt strange for 5m, then it clicked. What an add-on if I could give you 6 stars I would. Bought the add-on immediately. Will be recommending this to every blender user I know. Good stuff!

      Thank you so much, Bradley! Really happy to hear that it clicked after just a few minutes.

      That “feels strange at first, then becomes natural” moment is exactly what I wanted to achieve with Flow Navigation — a different way to move in Blender that quickly becomes part of your hand.

      I really appreciate the support and the recommendation. More improvements are already on the way!

    A game-changing tool that you can't leave once you start using it. The Auto-Clipping feature, in particular, simplifies my previous workflow - it's definitely worth a try!

      Thank you so much for the amazing review, Bop! It’s great to hear that Auto-Clipping is making a real difference in your workflow—that’s exactly why we built it. We have some huge updates coming in the Pro 2.0 version very soon, so stay tuned for even more 'game-changing' features! See you in our Discord community!

    As a former SpaceMouse user, this add-on is incredible. I always struggled with the finicky nature of the SpaceMouse. One axis might be smooth, and another axis might zoom you so far out you lose site of your object. Or you try orbiting an object only to drift off into the ether. This add-on just works. I primarily work on a desktop, but I was especially impressed with how easy it is to use on a laptop with a touchpad. Hit the spacebar and move around to your heart's content. It always seems to know what you're trying to do. This makes navigating in Blender a breeze. Now I'm looking forward to Flow Selection!

      Thank you so much, Jeremy! I’m really glad Flow Navigation feels natural for you, especially as a former SpaceMouse user.

      That was exactly the goal: make Blender navigation feel predictable, smooth, and context-aware without extra hardware. I’m also happy to hear that the touchpad workflow works well for you.

      Flow Selection is coming next, and I’m excited to push the same “just works” philosophy even further.

    Excellent addon! Fast support and regular updates with new features. Recommended.

      Appreciate it, Iaroslav! I believe that great tools should feel like they aren't even there. I’ll keep pushing the updates to make the workflow even cleaner and more intuitive. Glad to have you on board for the journey!

    Take my money, please. Trackball user here. The improvement of moving around the workspace is substantial. One of the main problems I would encounter now and then. Zooming in or out without something selected. Would take to another state. Not ,state of mind,I mean so far away that I could not find my project. Yes I know "use the home button" well I only found out about that only recently. Great add-on ! Silky smooth panning and zooming and the space bar option is so useful, panning and zooming with a simple mouse move. I used the lite version for one day and bought the pro the next day. Thanks again.

      It is great to see that the "silky smooth" navigation effectively solved the frustration of getting lost in the 3D viewport. While the current version of Flow Navigation is designed to offer the fluid, multi-axis control usually found in a Space Mouse, upcoming updates are specifically focused on full trackball optimization and dedicated navigation modes tailored to that workflow. As a Pro member, your participation in the Discord community provides a massive advantage in directing how these new functions are shaped. We are also currently building Flow Selection—a tool focused on pure Left Mouse Button interaction—which will soon be entering closed beta testing. Five years of professional experience across various 3D software and programming served as the foundation for this "Total Conversion," but feedback from the community is the most valuable element for perfecting the ecosystem.

    Epic addon! Its so intuitive and professional! The Settings User Interface! I will learn and use it for my videos!
    All the best

      Professional recognition from a top developer means a lot. The Settings UI was designed specifically to bridge the gap between complexity and a "natural" interface. Looking forward to seeing Flow Navigation in your upcoming content. Best of luck with your projects.

    Only tested the free/lite version so far, but I like it very much, definitely makes navigating easier and more fun!
    I would just wish to be able to also configure the easing/animation for the navigation, as when using it while being in rendered view, it still keeps updating the viewport about a second after finishing the initial navigation. Which makes Blender re-render the viewport and introduces a "delay" until Blender is able to actually see a render-result that exceeds 1 sample.

      Hi Moritz! Thank you for the 5-star review and for such detailed feedback on Flow Navigation Lite.

      You’ve highlighted a crucial point regarding the viewport updating in rendered view. While smooth easing is a core part of the "natural feel" I’m building into the Flow Ecosystem, I realize it can be a bottleneck when you need to see your samples immediately.

      I would love to have you in our community to discuss this implementation further. Could you please join our Discord https://discord.gg/SYrs9YSxrX and post this in the #feature-requests channel?

      This will help me track the task properly and allow other users to weigh in and add their own suggestions. Let's make the Flow tools even better together!

    Very interesting. Will there be an orbital method like a trackball in the future?

    • Andrei Bendelic

      Hi Owl333, thank you so much for the feedback and the 5-star rating!
      Regarding your question: I am planning to introduce various navigation modes, such as Fly/Walk, in future updates. However, the development priority depends heavily on community feedback.
      Since everyone has their own unique workflow and navigation habits, I’ve created a dedicated #feature-requests channel on our Discord server. I’d love to see you there so we can discuss this further!
      As a 3D modeler myself, I personally find that the current 6 degrees of freedom provided by the add-on cover almost every clinical case. If you specifically need to tilt the view, I recommend using the Roll function—it usually solves the need for an orbital trackball method.
      Looking forward to hearing more of your ideas!
