INSYDIUM NeXus for Blender
INSYDIUM NeXus for Blender Beta
NeXus has been rebuilt from the ground up for Blender, bringing GPU-accelerated particle simulation with real-time viewport feedback and fast iteration. From fluid dynamics and fire to organic spreading effects and constraint-based dynamics, everything runs on the GPU.
Launching Monday 1st June
The NeXus for Blender Beta is released on Monday 1st June. An account is required to access the Beta and your license. If you already have an INSYDIUM Customer Account you are all set. If not, create a Customer Account to be ready on release day.
What the Beta Includes
Simulation
- nxConstraints: particle constraint solver with multiple constraint types
- nxExplosiaFX: fire and smoke
- nxFlock: flocking behaviour
- nxFluids: liquid and granular simulation with PBD, SPH, FLIP and APIC solvers
- nxInfectio: infection and contagion spread between particles
Emission, Meshing and Curves
- nxEmitter: the source of particle birth
- nxGenerator: instance meshes at every active particle position
- nxMesher: generate a polygon mesh from particle emitters
- nxTrail: particle trails as a viewport overlay or curves
- nxUpres: upres particles from source to destination emitters
Forces

Motion and Shaping
- nxBlend: blend parameters between neighbouring particles
- nxCover: cover target object surfaces
- nxDirection: layered control of particle direction
- nxFollowGeo: follow geometry surfaces or edges
- nxPush: push particles apart to prevent overlapping
- nxRotate: apply rotational force to particles

System Requirements
Requires Blender 4.3 or later. NeXus is installed via the Blender Extensions platform, added in Blender 4.3. This includes support for the current Blender 4.5 LTS release, which has long-term support until July 2027.
NeXus is GPU-accelerated, so you will need a modern GPU with up-to-date drivers and at least 4GB of VRAM. On Windows and Linux this requires Vulkan 1.3. On macOS it requires Metal 3.
Operating System
- Windows 8.1 or later (requires the MSVC v142 runtime)
- macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
- Linux with glibc 2.31 or later, for example Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Anonymous Usage Statistics
INSYDIUM NeXus sends Anonymous Usage Statistics. During the Beta this is always on and cannot be disabled. The statistics gathered are entirely anonymous; no personal information is stored.
