Testimonials by Professionals
I like Fluent because it's useful for just about everything. Its versatility is tremendous.
Fluent isn’t strictly tied to scifi work, nor is it cornered into high-poly render models. I've used Fluent to create low-poly props as well, ranging from robot arms to structures like stone temples and shrines. Its boolean system is perfectly suited to creating complex designs for any purpose, even in ultra low-poly props & models.
Fluent is the ultimate cutting tool and was designed to modify truly complex geometry. The tool has a great deal of precision when it comes to the arcane angles of 3D space. If I need to cut into an archway or a circular doorframe, the treads of a tire, or even to cut out the pattern on the bottom of a shoe… that’s what Fluent is perfect for. You’ll find yourself using it on a daily basis, almost as frequently as the extrude command.
I like to combine Fluent with Zremesher 3.0. It’s the ultimate weapon for fast and detailed high-poly props. Try it out!
Fluent 1.5.2 - Blender 2.91.0 compatibility and few adjustments
Hello,
Blender 2.91 was released a few days ago. Fluent has been updated to be fully compatible with both version 2.83.x LTS and version 2.91.0.
I took the opportunity to make some adjustments following your feedback during the exceptional update of version 1.5 of Fluent. Here is the list of new features:
Only one file to work with Blender 2.83.x LTS and 2.90 and 2.91
Default value of bevel resolution is decreased to 16. To avoid slow viewport for some new users.
Default value of cylinder resolution is decreased to 32. To avoid slow viewport for some new users.
Fix some English errors.
NEW OPTION : pie menu radius to set the radius of the Fluent pie menus adjustment. Request by users with very high resolution screen.
Increase a little bite the starting depth of the inset.
Automatic switching to object mode if the cloth panel tool is called in edit mode
Wire simulation : for people who change the default hotkey (CTRL+, CTRL-) Fluent use now what you set in the Blender keymap.
NEW in ToolBox : Convert chain to object function.
Cloth panel : add the self collision option.
Bug fixed : when we try to edit an inset made by Shift+i.
NEW Pie menu → Add bevel → Hold Shift to remove the bevel.
