DriveClub’s Rain Effects

DRIVECLUB

Evolution Studios’ Driveclub is certainly a visual powerhouse, with striking attention to detail in car models, environments, and most impressively – weather effects. The game employs a detailed physics system for its rain, with each raindrop having its own independent physics calculations using a bunch of variables like the wind and acceleration that ultimately dictate its direction.
