# Nova FX, vendored Nova FX is included in Mortiflix as source (GPL-3.0-or-later, see LICENSE), copied from its original repository at commit `7638ae6`. `mortiflix setup 3d` packs `addon/nova_fx` with the C core from `core/` into an extension and installs it into the studio's own Blender profile; the add-on compiles the core for your CPU on first use. **Nova FX is Mortiflix's own particle engine, and for now its core builds on Linux only** (gcc with OpenMP, usually already installed). macOS and Windows builds aren't supported yet. Change Nova here like any other part of Mortiflix; keep `core/` and `addon/` in step.
