Rain Paint earns a spot in the Superhive library for pairing paint-driven, targeted erosion with a one-click model-wide mode, all through a simple interface.
Rain Paint is a procedural erosion addon for Blender, made by LowLvlLiving, that applies natural erosion to any model in seconds. Its dynamic paint-in-erosion feature carries a dynamic area of effect, so erosion can be applied quickly and precisely across a model.
A single click swaps between area-specific and model-wide erosion, opening the door to more unique terrain. The erosion simulations are built to calculate faster, with the focus on speeding up the workflow. The interface stays simple while retaining the flexibility needed to customize each simulation.
Rain Paint runs on Blender 2.8 through 2.91 and is distributed under a Creative Commons license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available. In this catalog it is listed as free.
Rain Paint is best for blender users who want to add procedural erosion and weathering to models, either in a targeted area or across an entire model.
Rain Paint is completely free to download and use.
Rain Paint is listed for Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9 and 2.91, covering the 2.8 and 2.9 series. If you work in one of those versions, the addon is a direct match. Because it was published a while back, newer Blender releases are not confirmed here, so check the developer's page before installing on a more recent build. Staying within the listed range is the safest way to get the erosion tools working as intended.
Rain Paint is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under a Creative Commons license, according to its listing. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current cost and the exact usage rights tied to the Creative Commons license, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you rely on it in a project. Checking there also keeps you current on any updated terms LowLvlLiving may have set since the addon was published.
Rain Paint uses a dynamic paint-in-erosion approach with a dynamic area of effect, letting you apply erosion quickly and precisely to any model. With one click you can swap between area-specific erosion and model-wide erosion, which the developer notes supports extra unique terrain. The erosion simulations are built to calculate faster to keep the workflow moving, and the interface is kept simple while still exposing the settings needed to customize each simulation.
