As Blender 2.8 updated with a new GUI we will be updating the info in our older videos with a new series FLIP Fluids addon: The Complete Guide that focuses on settings, features, and how to use them! In addition to this new series, the Creative Learning Series will also continue using Blender 2.8+.
If you are new to FLIP Fluids or Blender 2.8+, start with this series! Further videos about all functions in detail are already in production.
| Episode 1: How to Get Started | Learn the basics! How to install the FLIP Fluids addon or Free Trial, as well as how to run and render a simulation. |
| Episode 2a: Object Types | In the first part of this two part episode, learn about the Domain, Fluid, and Obstacle object types, as well as some handy workflow tips! |
| Episode 2b: Object Types | In the second part of this episode, learn all about Inflows and Outflow settings, and how to use them! |
| Episode 3a: Mastering Foam | Learn the secrets of whitewater! In part 1 of a 2 part episode, we start with Foam! We'll help you understand all settings, and afterwards you'll be able to set your scene up for realistic renderings. |
| Episode 3b: Mastering Bubbles, Spray, and Dust | In part 2 of this 2 part episode, we will help you understand how to set up the simulator for bubbles, spray, and dust particles. We will also explain how the difference whitewater settings can affect particle generation. |
| Solving 5 Common Issues | We've gathered five of the most common issues that are faced when using our FLIP Fluids addon and show you how to solve them: volume loss, mesh flickering, finding the helper menu, small inflows not generating liquid, how to turn an inflow on/off, and more tips and tricks! |
| Episode 4: Mastering Force Fields | In this episode you will learn how to manipulate gravity, let fluid flow along a path, generate a whirlpool, and more using our point, surface, volume, and curve guided force fields! |

In this video learning series, Dennis Fassbaender will teach you how to use the FLIP Fluids addon for Blender to help you create beautiful and creative simulations!
| Episode 1: Get Started (Blender 2.79) | Learn the basics! How to install the addon and use FLIP Fluid objects to create simple simulations. |
| Episode 2: Create a Magic Scene (Blender 2.79) | In this episode you will learn about using rigid body obstacles and how to make a very magical glowing whitewater effect! |
| Episode 3: SlowMotion Sphere (Blender 2.79) | In this episode you will learn how to create a very cool slow motion fluid effect of a bullet passing through a sphere of water! |
| Episode 4: Splash Along a Path (Blender 2.79) | In this episode, you will learn how to create a splashing, swirling, fluid effect around a soda can using an inflow following a curve! |
| Episode 5: Fluids and Fracturing (Blender 2.79) | In this episode, you will learn how to combine a Fracture Modifier simulation with a FLIP Fluids simulation! |
| Episode 6: Wetmaps (Blender 2.8) | Now you have your liquid flowing, but how do you make your surfaces look 'wet'? With wetmaps! In this episode, you will learn how to use Blender's dynamic paint features to realistically wet the surfaces that your fluid touches. |
| Episode 7: Buoyancy Tricks (Blender 2.8) | In this episode, we will present a workflow for how you can fake the illusion of floating objects using simple tricks! |
| Episode 8: Layering Fluid to Make Delicious Sweets (Blender 2.8) | In this episode, we will present a workflow for layering multiple fluid simulations by using Blender's Alembic exporter! |
| Episode 9: Freeze with the FLIP Fluids Addon! (Blender 2.9) | In this episode, we will show you techniques for creating liquid freeze effects, layering frozen simulations, and breaking ice using the Fracture Modifier! |
| Episode 10: Using Text As A Fluid Object (Blender 3.0) | In this episode, we will show how to use text objects in a simulation and how to avoid common pitfalls when converting text to mesh objects. |
