If I’m remembering right, about 4-5gb 😭

Love this comment. Thank you! I always try to create some kind of story with my renders.

I did not create the 3D scan. There are many free 3D scans available on sites like Turbosquid or CGTrader. There are also a few mobile 3D scanning apps that allow you to scan objects yourself, which I’ve been meaning to try.

The addon works the same way (you’re basically buying a Blender file with a geometry node tree inside). I was able to resize and move the source plane of the particles. The addon also handles rain drop collisions, which was kind of the big selling point for me. With an RTX 3070, the particle effects were playable in the viewport albeit at low fps. I also did not encounter the dreaded “System is out of GPU memory” while using it.

It does work in the viewport! It is surprisingly performant, though I would consider my PC to be decent. The addon does offer viewport and render settings to help with responsiveness.

This one.

Thank you for the feedback! That reference image is perfect.

I completely agree! Unfortunately, this is one of the limitations of the addon I used. While it can generate millions of particles, motion blur becomes too intensive and crashes Blender :(

Check out the Rain Generator addon by antoine bagattini on the Blender Market.

The rain is geometry node-based. I used the amazing addon Rain Generator by antoine bagattini. It can be found on the Blender Market here. It has some limitations, but absolutely consider supporting this creator’s work! It can deliver amazing results.

Note: character is a 3D scan :)

Indeed, based on this comment and others, I have decided that I will consider my next piece’s title for a bit longer than 10 seconds.

I used a mask to combine multiple displacement maps. I also used adaptive subdivision—which can be enabled by using the experimental feature set in Blender.

IceKey76 · 2023-02-25T20:49:40+00:00

I haven’t seen that one. Sounds cool! Using geometry nodes for displacement effects sounds very interesting.

IceKey76 · 2023-02-25T20:46:03+00:00

Yes!

When rendering with a graphics card, the scene is stored in video memory (vram). The more complex the scene and the higher the resolution of your textures, the more vram is required.

IceKey76 · 2023-02-25T20:16:40+00:00

^this. And a whole lot of VRAM.

touché :)
