    The wire and grid functions are worth the money alone! This is a must have add-on for me. Thanks!

    OK so here goes - Fluent is one of the most well thought-out, and intuitive blender add-ons I've ever bought (and I've bought a fair few now). Fluent is perfect for creating incredible looking hard-surface models, very quickly and efficiently, and most importantly non destructively. Rudy (the Dev) is always available to help with bugs and issues you have, and goes above and beyond to create short tutorials in both English and his native French) - he is also constantly adding things to the tool. When I bought it initially it was much more basic and effectively did nice bevels and cuts with a grid system, but since buying he's added plates (greebles), pipes, wires, grids, a better grid system - the list goes on and on. Oh and the new inset tool which is amazing! The addon is constantly evolving and getting better and better and the developer is always open to new ideas and changes suggested by the community.

    TL/DR - I can't recommend Fluent enough - it's the perfect tool for hardsurface modelling and the Developed is an absolute star. I actually bought Fluent two times (both the base version and then the power trip version) just to support his development of the addon because I believe in it that much!!

    I already own other Hard Surface modelling tool so I hesitate to buy this. But after watching more videos about this tool, I took the chance to buy this. And after few hours playing with Fluent, I can say that the function to make Cables, Pipes, and Grid really are time saver for my kind of work and already worth the price. Good work and please keep on updating....

    This is one of the most well-organized modeling addon here. Its combination of shortcuts and UI widgets strikes a good balance for me, not a lot of hotkeys to remember or reams of menus to fight through.

    As of now, there's no proper written documentation yet, just some Youtube videos and a Discord server's chat history. Seriously, new users need to pore over the videos AND JOIN THE SERVER, where issues mentioned nowhere or potentially misheard through the accent in the videos may have been answered (in my case, don't use orthographic view to correctly align grid to right-clicked face).

    All in all, it's a good addition in anyone's modeling toolbox.

    I also own both hardops and boxcutter thinking that this would be the tool I needed but its so confusing for a newbie like myself. However this app I have to say once you get used to the various stages allows me to create some really nice hard model ideas, Not had a massive amount of time to play with it but its well worth the money if you are a newbie

    The best money I've spent for an addon. I find it easier and faster to use than other popular hard surface addons.

    The simplest way of non destructive hard surfacing. Simply fluent.

    Uh......How do you even install it? Seriously, I bought this about 5 minutes ago and I'm ready for a refund.

    The video is too fast, in my experience I thought, the video was too fast, often many times I had to pause and figure out what he pressed. Why not say " press F and then left Click " not "and then do this ", because it is hard to figure out what "this" function that serves the purpose. sorry but i kinda regret buying this. Its a good tool, but in my experience the instructions could have been better.
