    This is an amazing tool for creativity! It's by far the most complete suite of tools of its kind. What sets it apart is the workflow: instead of being just another boolean cutter, it places 'guardrails' around operations that guide you toward great results, while still allowing you to remove them when you want full freedom.

    If you just want a simple cutter to manually slap onto a mesh, I'd recommend getting another add-on or manually placing Blender's booleans. However, if you want a well-thought-out system that makes high-quality hard-surface modeling feel effortless, don't hesitate. It's much more than just a collection of shortcuts; the developer clearly understands the balance between artistic vision and technical execution. And the inclusion of cloth, cable, pipe, screw-head tools (and more) in the Power Trip version is icing on the cake that makes it a one-stop shop for hard-surface modeling.

    P.S. If you get this add-on, be sure to watch the developer's tutorials on it. They don't just teach you the tool; they are also creative gems.

    about 2 years ago I bought this addon for some interesting features I had seen. Since then I experienced a well thought, versatile and broadly featured addon well worth what I paid for it. Regular updates keep enhancing it's functionalities.
    Together with Fluent materializer it's one of my most used addons and offers by far best information and entertainment with Rudy's videos.

    Great addon, it's fast, intuitive, i tried many addons and this one is the best for hardsurface, I tried before boxcutter and hardops and it was a mess full of menus just to do one single thing, the best thing about fluent is that the beveling system it's mostly automated and you can still control everything, you don't need to keep organizing the stack modifier just to change one bevel. The only 2 criticism i could do is that sometimes it can get pretty laggy when working with big segments or resolutions and other it would be nice to have a feature that you could like change between booleans like the everscroll feature in hardops but that's about it, i think it's the best addon for hardsurface.

    As well as buying a powerful, accessible and constantly evolving addon, you'll also have access to top-notch support via Rudy's discord.

    He is quite active there : always ready to help users of his various products, he regularly produce (video'd or written) custom mini-tutorials (which was my case, at least twice -- and the most recent being a "how to" that did not even involved Fluent at all).

    I'm not a very good Blender user, yet I use it in my work.
    Fluent is a great to, making the creation of hard surface models really easy, even tho I don't use it regularly which prove how easy it is to use it and create stuff with.

    Go for it, you won't regret it :)

    We all have a finite number of hours in our life and this fabulous tool helps you save time and avoid frustration when spending some of that time in Blender. The cherry on top is that it makes it much more fun too.

    I can see how this would be an awesome plugin. I'm not great yet in blender and still figuring out the tool. But even for the pipes and grill features alone it's worth it. I'm sure I haven't realised it's full potential. You do have to be pretty meticulous with button pressed but I think this will become more natural in time. The discord is very helpful and I've already made good use of pipes and it produces lovely bevels really quickly. There is a lot in here. I'm happy with it and seeing the benefits already. It does take a bit of getting used to but I can already see it's potential.

    It’s very rarely that I put a maximum of 5 stars.
    I have been using 3D not so long ago. Fluent has helped me a lot with complex objects and with the results I got, I can go above the frustration (that could let me down) thanks to the super intuitive side!

    The community and especially the creator is always present and fast to answer my questions on discord!
    A tool is good, but a solid community ( English/ French) that expects in return the satisfaction of helping you, is even better! Basically I can advise him, even to the beginner!

    For me, Fluent Stressless modeling Tool/ Fluent Materializer reconciled me with 3D
    ...
    C'est ultra rare que je mette le maximum d'étoile, mais touchant à la 3D depuis peu de temps, fluent a pu me consoler avec les objets très complexes, et aux vues des résultats que j'obtiens, je passe au dessus de la frustration qui pourrait me faire lâcher grâce au côté super intuitif !

    La commu et surtout le créateur est limite tout aussi présent et rapide qu'une i.a 24h/24 pour répondre à mes questions sur le discord !
    Un outil, c'est bien, mais une commu solide ( Anglais/Francais) qui n'attend en retour que la satisfaction de t'aider, c'est encore mieux ! En gros je peux le conseiller, même au débutant !

    Pour, moi, Fluent modeling Tool / Fluent Materializer m'a réconcilié avec la 3D
