The VecFlow user guide

Particles, liquids, smoke and destruction for Blender

Everything VecFlow does, explained under the names the add-on shows: how to make a simulation, bake it, and change it until it looks right.

Your first simulation What VecFlow is

VecFlow 0.1.0 · Blender 5.2 or newer · Windows, Linux and Macs with Apple silicon · GPU bakes on NVIDIA cards (RTX 20 or GTX 16 and newer), the same results on any CPU. Requirements

Fountain: Drops arc up, splash red where they land and burst into bits: a flow of three events, to learn fromFountainLiquid: A dam breaking: a column of water falls and runs along a glass tankLiquidFire: Flames and smoke rising off a burnerFireShatter: Cut the active mesh into pieces, glued together: it falls, and breaks apart where it hits the ground. It should be a closed mesh, above the 3D cursorShatterConfetti: Paper squares and strips shot up, tumbling down in many coloursConfettiExplosion: A burst of burning gas swelling into a fireball and a rising cloudExplosion
