Why we like it

Fake Liquid stands out in the Superhive library for offering a drinking-liquid illusion that skips simulation, with a pro version available separately for those who need more.

What is Fake Liquid?

Fake Liquid is an addon for Blender from Animation Store that produces the illusion of drinking liquids without relying on fluid simulation or complex geometry nodes. This approach makes it suitable for weaker PCs, avoiding the heavier processing demands that come with full liquid simulation.

The addon is built around a lighter setup for adding drinkable liquid effects to a scene. A pro version is offered separately on the developer's page, and buyers of the earlier release receive the pro version at no additional cost. Documentation is included with the addon, and a demo video is available.

Fake Liquid is published for Blender versions 4.1 and 4.0 under a GPL license. Animation Store is a Dev Fund contributor and maintains several other Blender addons, including FlowMotion, Quick Cycle, Draw Animation, Quick Constraint, Pin Keyframe, Curve To Bone and Real-Time Paths.

Who is Fake Liquid best for?

Fake Liquid is best for blender users on weaker PCs who want a drinking-liquid effect without running a fluid simulation or geometry nodes.

How much does Fake Liquid cost?

Fake Liquid is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fake Liquid work with Blender 4.1 and 4.0?

Fake Liquid is published for Blender versions 4.1 and 4.0. If you are running one of these versions, the addon is listed as compatible. Users on other Blender releases should check the developer's page for the latest supported versions before installing, since the listing specifies these two versions. Documentation is included with the addon to help with getting started once it is installed in a supported version of Blender.

Does Fake Liquid require a powerful PC?

Fake Liquid is described as suitable for weaker PCs. It creates the illusion of drinking liquids without using fluid simulation or complex geometry nodes, which avoids the heavier processing those approaches typically involve. This makes it a fit for machines that may struggle with full liquid simulation. For details on any additional requirements, consult the documentation included with the addon or the developer's page.

What is the difference between Fake Liquid and the pro version?

Fake Liquid has a separate pro version offered on the developer's page. Anyone who purchased the earlier release receives the pro version at no additional cost. The listing does not detail the specific differences between the standard and pro versions, so check the developer's page to compare what each one includes before deciding which suits your needs.

Is Fake Liquid free, and what license does it use?

Fake Liquid is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under a GPL license. A separate pro version is available through the developer's page. For current licensing terms and any pricing on the pro version, refer to the developer's page directly, as those details are managed there rather than in this catalog.
