FLIP Fluids Development Update 2024 – V2 Insights & New Features in V1

👋 Welcome everyone!

This year's FLIP Fluids Development Update 2024 comes with a whole new look — and a bit of behind-the-scenes work!

📈 One quick note: You might notice that the video was upscaled from Full HD 25p to 4K 50p. While this wasn't strictly necessary, we wanted to explore modern tools — including AI-based upscaling and frame interpolation. This occasionally introduces some minor artifacts, especially around small text or in the tutorial section. That said, we think the upscaled version looks stunning overall — and a big step up from the original.

🌐 For the first time, the entire video takes place inside a 3D environment, created using our new Compositing Tools. We’re switching perspectives, using green screen footage, and exploring new workflows — all inside Blender.
📽️ The video also includes a full instructional segment that shows exactly how this 3D scene was built, using our latest compositing features.
⏱️ It’s longer than usual and was released a bit later than expected — mainly because we were deeply focused on developing these new tools and features. We think it was worth the wait.

🔍 What’s inside?
We’ll walk you through the key highlights of our development work in 2024:

🌊 A deep dive into the progress of FLIP Fluids Version 2
🗝️ Keynotes – thoughts, insights, and direction
🧩 Introduction of the new UID Attribute — a powerful new system in our simulation pipeline
🧪 Hands-on instruction of the brand new Compositing Tools, including how to use them in your own Blender projects

🙏 Special thanks to the amazing Blender Team and the entire Blender Community — your support makes projects like this possible. If you’d like to contribute to the future of Blender, please consider joining the Blender Development Fund. 💙

Thanks for watching — and enjoy the ride through FLIP Fluids in 2024!
