Adjustment of rain splashes. Willow tree modelling

 I've used reflected buildings to imply both rain on the road, plus reference to the city underground. The road is invisible and I've used animated rain splashes, using an animbrush to indicate where the ground plane would be. Adjustment of the size of the splashes as they didn't read clearly, when viewed on the Quest. Used the thicken tool, whilst the animation loop was active and created some heavier strokes.  Creation also of the beginnings of the willow tree.

Reflections and rain test

 Looked at the reflections idea afresh this morning. I decided to strip out all of the colourful floor graphics and photoshop reflection png files. It was too busy and, even though there was a lot going on visually, there was something missing. I was inspired by some construction  lines that I'd put in place previously. They extended below the floor level and gave the impression of reflections. I simplified the look, mirrored the buildings and gave them a dark blue wash. Pleased with the result as it also draws reference to Sally's comment in the previous section about the underground being like a mirror of the map above. The dark blue of the reflections is reminiscent of Sally's world too.  Image below showing the grey construction lines that provided the inspiration and the new reflected buildings in dark blue.
