Hi! Happy to hear that! ^_^

Hi there! Drop Animation has been introduced from the Fluid Painter Version 1.3.12. In any case I suggest to update to the latest version to get all the features and improvements. Hope it help, thanks!

Hi there! The new Fluid Painter update 1.3.21 is compatible with blender 4.2 ^_^. Before installing it be sure to uninstall the previous version!

@Miki3dart thank you very much for the info will do 👍

Hi! Thanks, I hope you'll find this new features useful ^_^

@@Miki3dart Oh, I have a few scenarios in mind where that will be very handy. Quite busy at the moment, but if I use it, I'll show you :)

Hi there! There's a water preset :)

Hi there! Fluid Painter is compatible with your version so it should be something else. The addon must be installed as zip, and if it's installed correctly you should see it on the addons list. After that be sure it's active (check the flag). Now you should be able to it both on the sidebar panel as well as in the assets browser. Let me know! ^_^

Hi there! The animation follows the curve direction, that's the paint direction. The drops animation is on all the curve but you can make variations randomizing the speed and shifting. Hope it helps! ^_^

Thanks for your feedback! ^_^

Hi there! Yea as you noticed the new streaming mode does what you asked! I hope it helped!

Hi there! I'm glad you find the new feature useful! ^_^

Hi there and thanks for your support! It would be interesting to have trails on the surface, thanks for the suggestion!

@@Miki3dart another thig that would be great (sorry for the scope creep): Have a fluid droplet fall and once it hitsthe object, it turns into what we already know - posibly with said trail

@@maschlarea5172one more challenge added to the list :D

@@Miki3dart but I believe it makes sense, doesn't it?

Hi there! Thank you very much for your feedback and support! I hope you'll enjoy fluid painter ^_^

Hi there and I'm sorry you are having troubles! Mmm strange, I just did a test with a default cube where I added a cloth modifier and then the fluid and it's working. Maye you are using a subd modifier on the cube? I handled that case but after a few test it's giving problems. Let me know, thanks!

@@Miki3dartI was able to get it to stick after turning off the NSFW fluid painter addon that was from before installing this Fluid Painter 1.3. Then I went back to my project and completely removed the subd modifier that was turned off, but was on my model. I drew the paint on, told it to stick to object, and noticed in the modifiers for the fluid itself that the FluidPainter mod disappears then is replaced with a surface deform. I noticed that the mod is not bound though, unlike when I did it to the default cube, when attempting to bind this mod on my object it says "Target has edges with more than two polygons" and then will not bind. My project model has several surface deforms and some corrective smooth mods on it.

My other comment was removed because I put a link in it or something I guess. I think the answer is that Blender and this addon may have the limitation of not being used on any model that is not watertight or has non-manifold polys. I suspect you will not be able to fix this since it's blender's limitations so I will try making a dummy model of the area that I plan the fluid to stick to. Unless you have any better recommendation. Thank you

@@gruddie5269I'm still working on the new NSFW update that's why the current version is not compatible with FP 1.3. The FP mod disappears after the sticking because it's converted to mesh to be bound to the target mesh. If you use the flag "Keep Fluid properties" just the curve is converted to mesh. Also, yea, since the surface deform method uses the surface deform modifier, is has the limitations of that modifier, and I'm already updating the manual with these and possible fixes, but unfortunately the best is having a clean mesh as much as possible.

@@gruddie5269the non-manifold polys problem can be fixed using a triangulate modifier, or, fixing the model by hand :(. Thanks for your feedbacks!

Ciao e grazie mille per il tuo supporto! In realtà sto già lavorando al sistema di auto-drops, ma non sono riuscito ad ultimarlo per la versione corrente! Quindi lo troverai sicuramente in uno dei prossimi update! Grazie ancora! ^_^

Hi there! I'm glad you like the update! Your feedback means a lot to me! Thanks! ^_^

Thanks for your feedback! I hope you'll find this feature useful! ^_^

@@Miki3dart Still working with the old pub release, finally bought it and I can think of a few use cases ;)

Amazing! Thanks for your support! ^_^

Hi there! It's not a bug but a limitation of the geometry node that's based on blender 3.0. In the next update it's based on 3.1 and when converting to mesh the bubbles are kept :)

You are the GOAT!!! @@Miki3dart

Working on that feature for the next update that should be out the next week :)

Hi there! Sorry for the issue, maybe you are using the addons filter?

@@Miki3dart Also, the addon shows almost no errors during installation

@@kusk759 do you mind contacting me on discord so we can try to fix the problem? My username is miki3dxart, thanks!

Hi there! Well, fluid painter is based on blender curves so if you find a way to parent the curves to the rig... yes, it can work. Unfortunately there's not an easy way, you can hook the curve points to the rigged mesh but it would take a lot! One way it would be to generate random curves using a Geometry Node, it's one thing I'd like to try in the future. In alternative I suggest you to have a look at droplet generators addons or try making the effect via shader like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5LMmZ2AZpd3iJo

Just unzip it and append the files you find inside to your scene :)

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your support! I'm glad you find it useful! ^_^

Hi there! Just download the newer version from Blender Market and install it. After installing it's recommended to close and reopen blender, hope it helps!

Thanks for your feedback and support! ^_^

I'm glad you like it! Grazie! ^_^

Thanks!

You need to transfer the shapekeys from the body mesh to the fluid mesh. There are probably scripts for that, I use the Diffeomorphic addon, it has a feature for shapekeys transfer, you should have a look! o do

@@Miki3dart look my another comment Surface deform works perfect

@@shockerson oh sorry I read the comments in the wrong order :D

Good you find the tutorial :)

Are you using the NSFW version? That version doesn't have the panel, but it's just on the commercial one (anyway you can install the NSFW version along with it). With the NSFW version, after dragging a preset to the scene, just edit the curve and select the Draw tool to paint over any 3d surface

@@Miki3dart hi I tried the nsfw version and when I render the fluid is not there, any idea why this happens?

Hi there! Fluid Painter has been updated with new features, so be sure to check the latest release! Thanks :)

Just replied you on smutbase :)

Start and End mapping work only when you have a 3d curve, example when you activate the bevel. It doesn't work with the Fluid Geometry Node, sorry

Hi there! Unfortunately it's not possible, I needed to clamp the max and min radius value of the curve point to not get artifacts. In case you need more control I suggest to convert the curve to mesh and sculp to make thickness adjustments other the limits. Sorry for the limitation.

Thanks! ^_^

Hi there! What do you exactly mean? Some materials have a procedural texture applied, in case you want to use a custom texture you can change it using the shader editor :)

Thanks! ^_^

Hi there! Sorry to hear it's not working, what version are you using?

blender 3.6@@Miki3dart

Thanks, I hope you will enjoy it! ^_^

Thanks! I hope you'll find it useful in case you get it! ^_^

Anonimous is like...precious

Hi there! I'm glad you find the new feature usefull! Cheers ^_^

Hi there! It's probably because of the scale of the model, anyway the new update comes with a new scale parameter that allows you to set the base scale of the fluid and adapt it to any object size!

@@Miki3dart How do you do this?

What do you mean @@raijinthemaster88 ?
