Kadomain earns its place in the superhive library for a focused job: coordinating several physics simulation domains in one scene, with hooks into the Kaboom and Kafire addons.
Kadomain is a Blender addon built to manage several physics simulation domains within the same scene. Developed by Picto Filmo, it works on its own and also runs alongside the Kaboom and Kafire addons.
The addon lets you create a KaDomain, add a flow collection asset to it, and add effector or force field objects as assets. Fluid flows are managed by collection and effectors by object. You can display assets without disabling them in the viewport, adjust the fluid parameters and material parameters of the KaDomain, and import a baked KaDomain cache as a volume object.
Kadomain supports Blender versions 3.6 through 5.1 and has been used with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It ships under the GPL license, comes with a documentation page for UI explanations, and a demo video is available.
Kadomain is best for blender artists working with multiple physics simulation domains in a single scene, particularly those also using the Kaboom and Kafire addons.
Kadomain is completely free to download and use.
Kadomain supports Blender versions 3.6 through 5.1, so it runs on both recent and older releases across that range. It has been used with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you're running a version within that span, it falls inside the listed compatibility range. For anything outside 3.6 to 5.1, or to confirm the latest supported build, check the developer's page before installing.
Kadomain works on its own and also runs alongside the Kaboom and Kafire addons. Within a scene it manages several physics simulation domains, handling fluid flows by collection and effectors by object. You can add flow collection assets and effector or force field object assets to a KaDomain. For guidance, a documentation page explains the addon's UI, which is worth a look before setting up your domains.
Kadomain can import a baked KaDomain cache as a volume object, adding it to the scene as volume data. It also lets you display assets in the viewport without disabling them, and gives access to the fluid parameters and material parameters of the KaDomain. These controls sit within the addon's domain management, alongside its handling of fluid flows by collection and effectors by object.
Kadomain is listed as free here. It's released under the GPL license and was published around three years ago. For current licensing terms, any bundle options, or up-to-date pricing, check the developer's page directly, since these details can change over time. The addon also comes with a documentation page explaining its UI, which is worth reviewing before you get started, and a demo video is available too.
