    I bought INSYDIUM NeXus, but I couldn’t work with it comfortably because I kept running out of VRAM. Hurricane, however, can run simulations on the CPU, and it’s been a lifesaver for me!

    With my i9-13900HX, the simulations run very fast and reliably. I’m really happy with it! :)

    At first very skeptical about this product because the trailer looks like its not complete enough to work with, but the addons is work seamlessly with Geo Node, Extensive features with Hel Script and all available preset is more than enough, maybe we need a discord server btw..so much i want to ask

      We’ve had a Discord channel for over five years, with more than 1,000 active users! You should be able to find the link in a README file included with your add-on download. Thank you very much for the feedback!

    Impressive in every way. Fast, stable and easy to use, especially given that they’ve already got some excellent documentation. I bought this mostly for sand and cloth simulation, thinking I wouldn’t need it for fluids as I’ve been using Flip Fluids for a long time. But I didn’t realise what an outrageously fast solver this is. Complex water simulations are now so fast. I’ve got a very good PC, but with other add-ons I’m used to many hours for bakes. With this, it’s not too far off real-time. When you push it hard, it’s still going so quickly that there’s no frustration. The quality of the results is outstanding and it’s a real pleasure to use.

      Thank you so much! And wait until you try Solver version 0.9.4, which we'll be releasing today. It's much more stable—the cloth simulations are now a thousand times more stable, and overall it's about 20% faster.

    Slightly annoying that I bought FluidLab and now Hurricane has made it redundant, but this is a far superior add-on, easy to use, with greater functionality and better results. Plus it has the added ability to mix granular materials, fluids and even cloth. And the developers are keen to improve it in the future with GPU-accelerated simulations, which should make it an absolute powerhouse. Hurricane deserves way more sales than it has currently achieved – hopefully, it will keep selling for years to come.

      Thank you so much! The reality is that FluidLab is quite different from what users might think. Hurricane has been in development for three years, possibly even longer, and in parallel we've been developing FluidLab and MatPlus.

      FluidLab was born from the idea that Blender's particles were being underutilized and that their properties weren't being fully leveraged to generate fluids, so we wanted to push them as far as possible.

      Hurricane is much more than just a fluid simulator. I hope you enjoy it!

    Hands down the best plugin for granular simulations. Also it can mix simulations together like cloth, fluid etc...
    Super fast, easy to use, detailed documentation,very helpful support.Cherry on top that later on they will add gpu acceleration which honestly will probably make it almost real time. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!

    Awesome simulation system that can handle most types of sims (I've even seen someone do an explosion). It's also one of the few that can mix the types of sims. It can do cloth and water at the same time. It can simulate buoyancy. It's also relatively quick to get set up and running.

    Crazy add-on ! Possibilities already seem limitless with this beta version. And future updates look promising.

    Incredible work!!! The solver works great. The add-on integrates perfectly and the potential it has is incredible. Looking forward to updates that further enhance the add-on and I know they are already on the way. Congratulations for the work done!!

    It's not the best, although it has potential. If you're looking for an efficient pipeline this product may not be it. The pros is the UI is simple and versatile, the presets makes it easy to set the foundation of your particles. The lack of GPU usage hurts this product tremendously, they promise it'll come out "soon". But migrating CPU solvers to GPU could take months. VFX pipelines like Pro Particles comes with GPU rendering and solving right now with options to simulate smoke and fire for a dollar more. Not knocking these guys, it takes a lot of work to make particle simulations work, and to make it simple with extra features no less. But if you're looking for an efficient workflow right now with the option of GPU simulations I would look toward Pro Particles or something equivalent. If you have a CPU with about 12 cores then this product could fit your needs.
