Introducing Physical Puddles Pro 2.0, the ultimate Blender addon that revolutionizes how you create wet, rainy scenes. With just one click on your chosen material, this tool breathes life into your projects — generating realistic puddles with true water physics. From subtle dew to storm-soaked streets, achieving immersive realism has never been this easy.

✨ Key Features
Achieve Immersive Realism in Just One Click
Instantly transform dry surfaces into wet, reflective puddles with lifelike depth and refraction. This system saves time while adding cinematic realism to any environment.
Flexibility
Tailor puddles to your scene’s needs — size, depth, spread, and ripple intensity — all controlled through an intuitive UI for full creative freedom.
Procedural Collision Ripples Generator
Automatically generate dynamic ripples when objects intersect with puddles — adding subtle realism to motion and impact.
Procedural Rain Splashes
Simulate realistic rain splashes with adjustable size, intensity, and randomness — perfect for creating cinematic weather scenes in real-time.
Advanced PBR Algorithms with Displacement [PRO]
Leverage advanced displacement-based PBR algorithms for physically accurate reflections and surface deformations — for ultra-detailed wet surfaces.
[New+Pro] Object Puddles
Easily create puddles anywhere with a dedicated 3D mesh puddle generator. Control shape, size, and interaction with geometry, including advanced edge ripples and blending.
[New+Pro] Automatic Ground Wet Shader
Automatically blend wetness into ground materials — dynamically detecting puddle zones for seamless transitions across surfaces.
[New+Pro] Procedural Water Rims
Generate realistic water rims along puddle edges, mimicking how moisture accumulates naturally — fully procedural and customizable.
Puddles From Proximity & Draw [PRO]
Create puddles that form naturally near objects or draw them manually with curves for perfect control and speed.
🌧️ Procedural Rain & Drips Shader [PRO]
Simulate rainfall interacting with surfaces, adding dripping trails and dynamic wet streaks with full procedural control.
🖌️ Paint Water Flow Direction [PRO]
Control the direction of water flow using painted flowmaps to simulate realistic runoff along surfaces and slopes. Use with the free Flowmap Painter addon.
⚠️ Limitations
The one-click feature only works with PBR materials that use Principled BSDF and texture filenames containing “color,” “albedo,” etc. Otherwise, connect manually.
