Raining? // Tutorium Requests 1  |   Order by default Post by Weevil // Jul 20, 2007, 1:32am Weevil Total Posts: 534 I'm stuck. How do I create a stormy scene, at night? Anything I come up with looks to dry, and doesn't look realistic/right. Help? Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 20, 2007, 2:52am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Wet surfaces are reflective using an anistropic Fresnel reflectance. But might not be uniformly wet, so best approach would probably to use a mapped metal or mapped phong shader with variable reflectance. Just an educated guess, though. I don't think I've actually done a "wet" scene before... An overcast HDRI or background image might help too. -Jack. Post by prodigy // Jul 20, 2007, 10:16am prodigy Total Posts: 3029 Im agree with Jack, and another tip can be using few lights and on materials use high shinny values..that helps to get a wet look.. I think Use Mapped Shader for this case is the best option to make some parts wet and others not.. I think you need to work with the lights and materials for a while to find the best settings.. HTH.

I 'll give them a try Post by frootee // Jul 25, 2007, 3:42am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Have you tried the ripple rain plugin? it simulates rain; but not sure if it actually gives you good water droplets sticking to surfaces.
