Creating a Raindrop Effect
For the final project in this book, we will be using dynamic paint and particles to create a realistic raindrop effect on a lake! With what you learn in this chapter, you will be able to add raindrop effects to puddles on a road or create a boat traveling across an ocean, leaving a trail of waves! There are many different ways to use this effect, and it can definitely add another level of detail to your renders! We will first start by adding all the objects we will need for the scene. From there, we will learn how to use the particle system to create rainfall! After that, we will jump into the dynamic paint simulation and learn how to use the waves surface type to create realistic raindrops. Finally, we will create a nice water material and render the animation using Eevee!
Here are the topics we will cover:
- Setting up the scene
- Creating the rain particles
- Simulating the waves
- Creating the water material
- Setting up the render ...
