Nice! But the initial drops are too similar to a perfect oval. You can try to make some randomness to the initial shape to make it more realistic. (It's much easier to say this than to make a simple model that looks good.)

When I download the source and try to open index.html in Chrome, it doesn't work.

"Unhandled promise rejection DOMException: Failed to execute 'texImage2D' on 'WebGLRenderingContext': Tainted canvases may not be loaded."

Does anyone know how to get it working? Thanks!

I wonder how many slo-mo rain-on-glass videos you guys watched while making this.. Looks very impressive!

Something about the large droplets' trails is a bit uncanny valley-ish, I think it's the regularity of distances between the trail spots?

You need to run it from a web server. Open a shell on the root directory and run `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888` on it. Browse to `localhost` on 8888.

I noticed the same thing. That is the problem with this kind of thing, you tend to get into the uncanny valley. Still looks pretty awesome anyway.
