Hi Tevor,

Nice image (as the old one)! The drops on the camera are nicer in this
version, but I liked the rain of the older better - looks more like a
rough stormy sea. Also the isosurface effect is a bit strong for my taste :)


Keep up the good work!
Florian

That looks much better.

Well, real raindrops aren't round. Air resistance prevents that. They're 
kind of bowl-shaped, actually. But having them streaky (like you 
originally had) makes them look OK. It's not like your eyes can actually 
see falling rain drop-by-drop anyway.

I think that gives it a much better sense of scale. Before, I couldn't 
even tell what the floating thing was supposed to be.
