Why we like it

Floatify earns its place in the superhive library by staying narrow: it handles one task — floating a selected object on water — through a short select, click realise, and keyframe sequence. Documentation is included and a demo video is available.

What is Floatify?

Floatify is a Blender add-on built around one task: making selected objects float on water. It keeps the process short — select the object you want and click realise, and the add-on handles the floating. It's a quick, straightforward add-on aimed at a simple job.

Setup follows Blender's standard route. Install it through Edit > Preferences > Install, then find it on the N panel. From there you select your object, click realise object, and keyframe the ocean to produce a floating result. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available for anyone who wants to see the steps.

Floatify runs on Blender 3.0 through 3.5 and is released under the GPL license. It was published about three years ago and is listed as free in this catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Floatify support?

Floatify lists compatibility with Blender 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, so it covers the 3.x series up to 3.5. It was published about three years ago and is released under the GPL license. If you run a newer Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm whether support has been extended, since the compatibility listed here stops at 3.5. Trying it on the versions named above is the safest path for the workflow to behave as described.

How do I install Floatify?

Floatify installs through Blender's standard add-on route: go to Edit > Preferences > Install and add the file there. Once installed, you can find the add-on on the N panel inside the viewport. From that panel you select the object you want, click realise object, and keyframe the ocean to get a floating object. Documentation is included with the add-on, and a demo video is available if you want to follow the steps before setting it up yourself.

Is Floatify free, and what license does it use?

Floatify is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. It is released under the GPL license, which is worth keeping in mind if you plan to modify or redistribute it. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current price and any usage conditions, check the developer's page directly. That page is also where you can reach the creator with questions about the add-on.

How does Floatify make an object float on water?

Floatify works from a short, manual sequence rather than an automatic process. You select the object you want to float, then click realise object from the N panel, and keyframe the ocean. That combination produces a floating object on water. The add-on is aimed at this single task, so the steps stay minimal. Documentation ships with the add-on and a demo video is available if you want extra guidance before or during setup.
