Developer diaries #52

In these diaries, we'll talk about an enhancement that will make driving in rainy weather even more realistic. We've significantly improved the behavior of raindrops on your car's windshield – they now genuinely affect visibility while driving.

Drops no longer just appear on the glass – they behave like in real life:

💧 If drops land in the same spot, they merge and grow larger. 💧 When the car is moving, drops are pushed downward by the wind, gather into streams/rivulets, and flow down the surface. 💧 They also interact with each other – merging and changing shape.

All this creates a livelier, more realistic simulation that not only looks convincing but also impacts the driving experience – especially in bad weather. We continue to refine details to a level where every environmental element contributes to the overall sense of immersion.
