Release notes

1.0.0

The first release of BLUX Physics Suite, for Blender 5.0 and newer.

Solvers

• Blaze for smoke and fire on a sparse grid, with Combustion, Dissipation and Turbulence nodes, Blaze Look shading, wavelet upres, checkpoints and OpenVDB output.
• Hydro for liquids, with real-unit liquid presets, up to four liquids per scene, a production surface mesher, a GPU anisotropic mesher, and GPU whitewater.
• Atom for granular, elastic, snow, mud, fluid, lava, metal and concrete materials, with wetting and melting.
• Impact for rigid bodies on XPBD, with Voronoi fracture, breakable bonds, rebar, joints, groups, activation and triggers, and debris.

Workflow

• One node graph drives everything. The sidebar edits it, and the node editor shows it.
• Templates for every solver, quick setups, and saveable graph presets.
• Wrangle nodes for per-particle and per-voxel GPU code.
• Particles and gas together, with Blaze Coupling.
• Baking with checkpoints, upres and resume; Alembic, PLY, OpenVDB and spritesheet export.
• Diagnostics, kernel warm-up, cache budgets and an environment check.
