About the Software

WHAT IS FLUID FX?

Fluid FX is a tool that relies on a fluid/pressure simulation to achieve different kind of animations like explosions, blood, smoke, dust, magic effects,etc..

You can easily get cool animations with the included presets, and tweaking their values. After you get the result you want, you can export it directly into a spritesheet and import it into your game.

This tool is being developed by @CodeManu if you find it useful, have any doubt or just want to say hi, feel free to message me!
