What is Fluid Painter

Imagine effortlessly painting fluids over any surface in your 3D designs. No more tedious workarounds or clunky interfaces – just pure, seamless creativity. That's the power of the Fluid Painter Add-on for Blender. As a 3D artist myself, I was frustrated by the limitations of existing methods. That's why I set out to create a product that would make it easier to work with fluids in 3D design. I tested it myself, and with the help of other 3D professionals, to ensure it was easy to use, flexible, and powerful. And now, I'm excited to share it with you. With Fluid Painter, you'll be able to turn your vision into reality and take your designs to the next level. So go ahead, unleash your creativity and make a splash with Fluid Painter!

Fluid and Fluid+ presets

Fluid Painter provides two primary preset types: Fluid presets, which are great for general painting and recommended for creating fluid leaks. Fluid+ presets are more advanced, dynamically adjusting to the painting surface. However, they require an assigned drawing surface. This assignment is automatically performed by selecting one or more objects just before adding a Fluid+ preset.

Features

Fluid Painter is a Blender tool that uses Geometry Nodes to let you easily paint fluids over any 3D surface using a curve. With base and advanced parameters, you can create custom fluids that fit your exact needs.

Easy to use!
Simply add and draw one of the included presets to quickly create stunning fluid effects.

30+ Presets
Using the included presets library compatible with both Eevee and Cycles, you can add fluids to your scene in seconds.


Drop System
Fluid Painter features an intuitive drop system that creates a drop at the end of each shape of the fluid curve. You can adjust the size, length, and curvature of the drops and move them along the splines to create a flow effect.
