pretty great.
Something about the distribution of the droplets and the movement doesn't seem "random" enough. it seems pretty "regular" for lack of a better word.
The drops themselves look amazing.

That sounds really cool actually! How did you end up building such a studio at home etc? Sounds like a lot of work to me! (Always cool to see what kind of people hang around here on HN as well!)
I am very unusual in that I'm comfortable on both sides of the camera. What I learned is building a studio is an IT project! Maybe the most unusual part is, none of this would work unless I could run the show by myself. My TriCaster is programmable with macros which is what I've done. I am my own director while on the air. Oh -- with a friend I created a map making system which runs on an i5 and produces ~ 40,000 map…
Wow this is super interesting, you should do an AMA!

#24Be cool if you could pay to view this without a background so you could overlay it on videos, livestreams, etc.
Re: Making rain simulation as real as possible
#25Looks great.
I was confused at first because I thought the sliders were parameters of the simulation and I wasn't hearing anything.

Fascinating. How’d you land that gig?
I've been doing this over 35 years and have seven Emmys. They got someone they shouldn't be able to afford and working from home I could afford to accept it. I'm a pancreatic cancer survivor (Whipple) and this flexibility helps. I am a professional. My job is to forecast their weather and I am diligent in that pursuit. Windows are overrated.
Wow, this is such a fascinating story. I'd totally subscribe to an AMA.
Glad to hear you've kicked cancer's ass.

This is impressive and cool, I really would like to read more about it. You should write a blog!

I came thinking that it was a visual rain simulator. Then I saw a very nice visual display, but the sliders didn't do anything. Then I realized that it is an audio simulator with different audio parameters for the various aspects of the rain soundscape. I'd love sliders for the visual display too.
Very nice. Very very nice. Bookmarked.

#29i think this site would be much better than that

Re: Making rain simulation as real as possible
#30Is this just an audio simulation? The sliders don't seem to change the graphics very much. :(
