a very big rainbow theme. The rainbow perfectly complements the element of waterfalls. A duet of beauty and the elements. Where do such associations arise in the house? Of course there is such a place. This is a shower cabin in the bathroom. It's almost Niagara there sometimes. I decided to make such a beauty there. First, I studied photos of real shower systems with falling water. And I realized that water droplets are simple balls. It's just that the human eye sees a jet in such a column of drops, but it's not there, it's an optical illusion. The eye is imperfect. there is a trickle at the beginning, but I decided to ignore it
and now I want to tell my thriller about creating jets of water from a watering can. First, I made a row of identical 1.1 cm balls. I placed the balls horizontally along the same line at about the same distance, aligned all the balls along the top using the Furniture tool. I made a chain of identical balls 214 cm long. I exported this group to OBJ, then imported it back and, while saving the model, rotated the group 90 degrees so that the row stood vertically. I got a column of falling drops. But they were still opaque. Then I lined up these columns in a circle and repeated these circles five times, reducing the size of the circles, but maintaining the height of the group. It turned out to be an epic army of drops from a tropical watering can. And now the thriller has begun. I tried exporting this army of droplets to OBJ and distinctly heard the grinding of gears in my computer. The process took 7 minutes. The OBJ file appeared, but the SH3D scene was hopelessly frozen. The file size with drops turned out to be 2.18 GB. It's obviously too much for SH3D. It didn't even work out to import back, everything stopped forever.
But surprisingly, there was a way out. I saved only one circular contour of the columns in OBJ, and wrote the transparency coefficient d 0.1 in the MTL file. The program mastered this move. Imported as a group with transparency. And now I was able to copy this transparent group inside the scene three times, I was allowed to do it!
He made an army of drops in this way, deceived the guards of SH. I think the full effect of falling water is still more complicated, I did it somehow unnaturally. It was necessary to make different intervals and change the sizes a little. Otherwise, some very regular rings of Saturn turned out. There's more fun and splashing in the shower, I'm wrong about that. But back to the rainbow. The red color in the rainbow is always outside the arc, this is the rule.
I made a Photoshop drawing of a rainbow sector on a square field. Now I'm showing you this drawing on a black background so that it can be seen, but in fact I saved a semi-transparent texture on a transparent background in PNG.
As always, according to the method of dear Keet, I placed this texture on the front side of a thin 100x100 cm box, making the other sides invisible. I slightly illuminated the center of the rainbow with a hemisphere.
The legs of the cockatoo in the mirror are not visible on the back. I'm working on myself)). The illusion is improved in small things))
