VDBLab

BeFX Studios in Presets


VDBLab 1.1.7


New

- Redesigned interface: a column of module icons to switch between modules, a new BeFX header, and compact panels for emitters, domain, forces and flow, with two values per line and much shorter panels.

- Preset library included with the addon: 11 ready-to-use presets available right after installing, with no separate download.

- Your own presets are now saved outside the addon, so they are never lost when you update.

- Three new emitters: Mushroom (mushroom cloud with rising stem and rolling cap), Cluster (chain of explosions over an area or along a line) and Shrapnel (burning fragments with smoke trails).

- New domain shader with simple Smoke, Fire and Heat settings that looks the same in Cycles and EEVEE, with an Update Shader button for older scenes.

- Physical sky for the VDBLab World, aligned with the VDBLab sun, with the option to use an HDR instead.


Improved

- Cones, Icosphere, NoisyMesh, Shockwave and FirePath are several times faster with high subdivision or density.

- Exported presets only save the current scene, so they are smaller and cleaner.


Fixed

- Domain shader stripes, blown-out fire and red glow in recent Blender versions.

- Sun strength for fire and smoke, and the sun disappearing when importing presets or deleting a domain.

- Emitter Target having little or no effect on Cones, plus several Icosphere, Cones, FirePath and Cluster animation issues.

- Effectors and Force Fields: settings not applied, duplicates in the lists, Select All doing nothing and broken duplication.

- Several errors with presets and with Blender 5.2.

v1.1.6 - 2026-10-11

- Fixed "Repairing invalid state in node link" warnings in Blender 5.x when adding emitter shapes or importing presets.

- Fixed presets not simulating in Blender 5.2, and "No Emitters detected" when adding a new domain to an imported preset.


Note: if you imported a preset in Blender 5.2 with a previous version, import it again so it simulates.
