simvx.core.rain

Rain3D: a camera-relative GPU rain volume (design RM-E3).

A thin specialisation of :class:GPUParticles3D that fills a volume around the active camera with fast-falling droplets and slants them with the scene wind. It reuses the GPU particle simulation wholesale (there is no new render pass and no new GPU binding): the only rain-specific behaviour is

  1. snapping the emitter to the active camera each frame so the downpour always surrounds the viewer (a camera-relative volume), and

  2. reading the WorldEnvironment wind – the same source that populates the FrameGlobals wind slot the wet-surface shader reads – to slant the fall.

Zero-cost when unused: a scene with no Rain3D emits nothing and touches no new code path. Pair it with wetness_affected materials and a WorldEnvironment whose wetness / rain_intensity / ripple_strength are non-zero to make the ground read as wet under the downpour.

class simvx.core.rain.Rain3D(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: simvx.core.gpu_particles.GPUParticles3D

A camera-following GPU rain emitter.

Example::

rain = scene.add_child(Rain3D(radius=16.0, fall_speed=22.0, amount=8000))

radius/height size the falling volume centred above the camera; fall_speed is the downward launch speed; wind_response scales how much the WorldEnvironment wind slants the drops. All the underlying emitter dials (amount, lifetime, start_colour …) remain available.
