Someone asked me if I had ever done a rainy picture, this got me wondering how
difficult it would be... I decided it would be easier if I kept my camera
indoors though, didn't want it to get wet!

I still have a lot to do to this image, textures on the window are very basic
and I am planning on adding lots more stuff outside.

There are no light sources just radiosity and a sky sphere to provide the
illumination (does this sentence make this image on topic enough to submit it to
the current TC-RTC?)

A good start, Sean. You are on the right track it seems, as the water on the 
panes is very believable. Reminds me also of Jaime's famous rain scene. Rain 
has been something at the back of my mind for quite a long time now. I shall 
have to try that one day...

The scene is certainly on topic for the current TC-RTC as far as I am 
concerned. Beware however that you have till the 15th of this month to 
submit.

Ahh... Thanks for pointing that out Thomas, I have not entered before and
assumed the deadline was the end of the month.

Better get on with the modelling...

Nice job so far... It's quite good as a finished piece already.  I think 
the simplicity of the scene is actually a plus.

The raindrops on the window are very convincing, although trails where 
the water is running down the window don't look right.  It's as if the 
IOR is too high, or maybe it's because the water trails are too thick.

The lighting in the sky is great and the outside details are really 
well-done.

Looks like the kind of day where you'd expect to see an old man leading 
a couple giraffes down the road muttering about not knowing what the 
heck a cubit is...

Thanks, I agree about the drops, they are created using a blob and in my tests
so far if I make them thinner the blob dissapears. I am going to work on this
some more and may remove some of them if I cannot fix it.

The sky was where this image started, I was trying different textures on a
sky_sphere and came up with something that looked like the sun trying to break
through a cloudy/rainy sky, I liked it so much I decided I needed to use it in a
scene.

Not sure what you mean about the giraffes, looks like a normal summer day in the
UK to me ;-)

The about the old man and the giraffes was probably before your time. 
Mine too for that matter. But I understand they suffered quite the 
storm. People are still looking for their boat today though. =)

Very nice and it has a real rainy feel. Would be nice to see the trails affected
by the wind (at least, if thats a stormy sea i see outside the window)

Btw, can't you just scale down your blob to make it thinner? Or is that newbe
thinking?

You can try scaling those blob's components to make then thinner.

thicker as the drop moves downwards.

Good point about the wind affecting the trails, I had just made this random but
will re-visit this now.

I have tried scaling (not put that much effort in so far though) and the blobs
seem to just disappear when I make them thinner. I will find the thinnest
setting I can get away with and keep them visible. Of course it could be because
I am scaling each component rather than the whole blob which would probably make
a difference...

Thanks,

Sean
