Rain on a window with running drops
In your harnessGodot shaderMIT
Window pane covered in rain: static droplets of random size scattered in cells, drops that run down with trails, each drop refracting a sharp upside-down view while the glass between them shows a blurred, misted scene.

What it takes and gives
- Shader type
- spatial
- Render modes
- unshaded, cull_disabled, depth_draw_never, shadows_disabled
- Parameters
- screen_texture (sampler2D), drop_density (float = 12), drop_size (float = 0.28), runner_columns (float = 7), runner_speed (float = 0.35), refraction (float = 0.06), mist_blur (float = 3), mist_tint (vec4 = 0.82, 0.87, 0.92, 1) and 1 more
- Use it on
- A quad (the pane) in front of the scene, with UV v pointing down the glass.
- Result
- A misty pane with clear beads of water showing sharp, bent bits of the scene, and drops sliding down.
- Renderers
- compatibility: compiled and rendered, forward plus: not verified, mobile: not verified
- Placement

Limits. Screen-space refraction cannot show what is off screen and does not invert the view like a real lens. Drops do not merge or interact; runners can pass through static drops. The mist blur depends on the screen texture's mipmaps.
