Make it rain in TWO minutes (Blender Tutorial)

I was recently working on a still Image and I needed rain. Instead of looking up a tutorial I decided to just do it myself. Other tutorials were way to long and this one is here to make simple but beautiful rain.

While I'm doing donut speedrun, people doing real stuff. Great tut, need more of this!

[@andreasklindt7144]

I wonder if you can let it rain donuts with this. Should be possible, right?

[@lanewallace.]

It would be possible, although make sure to make lowpoly donuts so there is not too much geometry

[@iceyberq]

when u make the icosphere the little settings tab u can make it have less polys instead of using a modifier to save a couple of seconds in this run

[@lanewallace.]

Ohhh yeahhh I didn’t even think about that. Thank you!

[@raw_pc]

I appreciate 3dsmax for pulling me into 3D years ago, I like C4D for performance and intuitive interface, I am amazed by Houdini's flexibility but I love Blender for all of the above.

[@silverman1438]

excellent tutorial, thanks 🙏🏻

[@Traderthoughtsog]

I figured out why it wouldn't show up on the rendering (Cycles)
Go to the particle system at the beginning - scroll down until you see "Cache"
Then hit Bake after selecting the last frame where the rain is (itll bake from the beginning until the frame you set)
Try re-rendering again.

[@neodidi]

Apart from the actual interactions or so.. Film riot just put out a really really easy and less cpu heavy way of introducing rain in a video..
I think this can be implemented in 3D too after creating peddles and stuffs... Especially if the rain won't be too much of a focus, then no need to run a particle simulation.

Motion blur is the scariest thing for particles because not only that it'll increase render time but also sometimes can just crash blender

Will do

[@cocokane1233]

thx

[@lordwafflesthegreat]

It would be a lot less taxing on the renderer if you used images instead of full 3D meshes.
Just get a simple image of a raindrop, or even just a small curve and use that instead.

[@lanewallace.]

Very true

[@MPSESRA]

Now I know how to make money rain from the sky.

[@lanewallace.]

Heck yeah! You could maybe even add some cloth physics with a little bit of turbulence to make them flutter around ;)

[@MPSESRA]

@@lanewallace. Thanks for the tip, have to try it someday soon.

[@jagerbob7]

This is great but how about a tutorial for making the splashes that form as the rain hits the ground?

[@cryptomarshallacademy9100]

Simply a guess, just a food for thought. Subdividing the particle sample mesh => applying rigid body active to a sample mesh => make ground plane => Turning on collion with the ground plane => setting ground plane to rigid body passive. That's how it works in my head, haven't tried it, but as I said food for thought.

[@logiknotlogic6586]

@@cryptomarshallacademy9100 yes but thatll made the droplet bounce. we need to make it splatter on the ground

[@cryptomarshallacademy9100]

@@logiknotlogic6586 For this reason we are using subdivision, gravity will do the rest, no? Anyway you may know how it works better than I do

[@logiknotlogic6586]

@@cryptomarshallacademy9100 you are partially correct bro. Gravity will bring the raindrop to the ground but the software doesnt know that its a raindrop so itll think its a ball or something and bounce the raindrop somewhere else like how a ball would bounce off of the floor. We can change some settings so that it doesnt bounce but still, it wont splatter like rain does. I too am learning how to do the splatter effect in blender

[@lanewallace.]

The best way to do splatters would to either use a particle system of some kind. Or how I would personally do it is use an animated image plane of a splash and then just have it appear when the rain hits the surface.

[@quatro4764]

I get that this is an old video but does anyone have the best material settings for getting this to look realistic?

[@SixtySecondsorLess60]

I love you

[@royh4305]

Wauv!!

[@TLABify]

FUCKING EXCELLENT MA MAN!!

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

I have a question. I made the animation and everything is okay but rain (i made rain in the last order) needs time to fall into scene to appear. But i placed a lot of keyframes for objects already. Is it a way to apply a part of animation or freeze it like rigid body or cloth and resume it since the first keyframe? Or i always need to plan the timing before? Sorry for bad english

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

or maybe i can somehow move ALL keyframes for ALL objects and nodes at one click further?

[@lanewallace.]

Good question, I had the same issue and I just trimmed the beginning of the animation off. But to make the whole animation have rain you could either move all the keyframes like you said. Or you could probably bake the particular simulation and make it start before the animation starts. I hope that makes sense

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

@@lanewallace. i found the solution for me - i enabled "use preview range" clock icon at the timeline and was able to start my animation at minus frames like create additional timeline for me in the past (-20 for me). Before it I tried to move all keyframes by once, but it wasnt catch any shader-nodes keyframes. Only scale-transformation-rotation etc layout things. Thanks for the help anyway. It was a pleasure to inspect your work and do mine
