Flow Map Painter

Clemens Beute released Flow Map Painter, a free Blender add-on for drawing flow maps. Artists could paint directly in the 2D Image Editor or work on geometry in the 3D viewport.

Flow maps commonly drive directional motion in materials and effects, including flowing water, hair, smoke and surface distortion.

Availability

The add-on was distributed through Gumroad. Verify current Blender compatibility and test texture orientation, colour-space handling and export resolution before production use.
