In particular, the new solver promises to make it easier to recreate more complex real-world effects, with dedicated secondary particle types for spray, foam and bubbles. The hybrid particle/volume-based methodology, widely adopted in specialist simulation tools, promises to improve the realism of native Blender fluids. Liquid simulations also get a new FLIP solver.
Its implementation both unifies and modernizes the software’s physics tools: gaseous and liquid simulations now use a common modifier and share a common user interface. Mantaflow integration provides unified gaseous fluid and liquid simulationĪlthough Blender is being increasingly adopted in production for modelling and layout work, many studios still rely on tools like Houdini for complex simulation work.īlender 2.82 marks the first significant change the the software’s simulation toolset in some time, with the integration of open-source fluid simulation framework mantaflow.Ĭo-developed by graphics researcher Nils Thuerey, previously R&D lead at Scanline VFX, mantaflow was available as a separate branch of Blender for several years before reaching the main branch. Ubisoft, which has recently adopted Blender in its in-house TV animation studio, described the 2.80 update as “a game-changer for the CGI industry”.
The release builds on the successes of Blender 2.80, last July’s milestone update to the software.įour years in the planning, the 2.80 update overhauled the open-source 3D software’s core architecture and workflow to improve its usability for professional production work. The release introduces a new unified fluid simulation toolset, and removes obstacles to integrating Blender into production pipelines, adding UDIM support, USD export, and adopting the VFX Reference Platform.īuilding on last year’s ground-breaking 2.80 release The Blender Foundation has released Blender 2.82, the next update to the open-source 3D software.
Blender 2.82 updates the open-source 3D software’s simulation toolsets, integrating the mantaflow framework for liquid and gaseous fluids, and adding support for internal air pressure in cloth sims.
