I love the Iterator superstructures, they're just so dauntingly massive and breathtaking to look at. How much time, how much resources, how much money even, if there was an established money system in the Ancients' society, would it take to build even just *one* of these things? I feel like most people who play the game don't realize how unfathomably massive these structures are. They extend well over the clouds, and are long and wide enough that entire cities, easily the size of major cities on Earth, can fit on top with room to spare. The energy output they release from having so many electrical things going on inside them is so immense that they create their own weather systems and electrical storms. I think you've conveyed the enormity and sheer size of these things very well, especially with the little scug sitting on that rafter looking thing at the end of the video.
@@traso56 Cool animation and idea, but I disagree with the part about scale. The fast camera movement and wide angle make the size of everything more ambiguous - I'm no artist so maybe I don't know what i'm talking about, but i think a slower camera path + narrow field of view would make the structures seem more massive.
@@HeyHereTer techhhnicallly not entirely true. Five Pebbles is actually the reason why the rain occurs in the Survivor, Monk, and Hunter gameplay in the first place. His superstructure was built first, and because of how much water the iterators intake in order to power and cool down their systems, when they release their used water back into the atmosphere, it creates enormous storm clouds, which in turn end up precipitating the rains of death that RainWorld gets its name from. This is the same with every superstructure, except due to Five Pebbles' mistake that ended up causing the rot to form inside his structure, he has to intake multitudes more water than the average Iterator; the rains caused by healthy, fully functioning iterators would normally be no more intense than an average rainstorm on Earth, but because of how much more water Five Pebbles needs, his rains are particularly violent and destructive. This increased water intake ended up killing Looks To The Moon, as their superstructures were built very close to each other, and Moon couldn't take in enough water to sustain herself. So yeah, there'd be no risk of rain happening while an iterator's superstructure is being constructed, only afterwards, and even then it's only mild rain anyway, assuming the Iterator is taking in normal amounts of water.

a bit inaccurate. despite the massive size of the structures, the clouds still reach a little less than halfway up the can itself in-game rather than stopping at the top of the struts, though they do thin out as they reach that point and i'm not sure how easy it would be to render an effect like that.
This is a source-engine map, and it's built with the clouds locked at that level unfortunately. The whole thing would have to be decompiled, edited, and recompiled just to change the cloud height, all while praying nothing corrupts. That's the jank of an engine from the 2000s for ya 😅
I made this scene in blender and rendered with cycles. It's not from source engine. I moved the clouds down to the legs so I could showcase the entire model. You could say it was an artistic choice haha
This is insane, can't imagine how much work it must have been But the hunger within me will not die down. This is nice and shiny, now I want to see a weathered one, hundreds and thousands of cycles after it's been built, covered in patches of what looks like a thin layer of mold, lichen or moss at a distance but is actually foliage and other biomass from plants and critters that have climbed this mountain over time, as well as dust, especially just above the cloud layer as the rain would of course wash a lot off of the lower parts and not many things would make it all the way to the top, but we do see a fair amount of plant life in-game even if it's not doing too well trying to live on this metallic desert I wonder what the atmosphere of rain world is like, based on the size of the city I'd imagine the top of an iterator can to be at least 6 square miles (8 square kilometers?) large, if not more, thus the total height would have to be at least two or three miles into the air. That gets hard to breathe at on earth, maybe not a good spot for a city. If not even higher, due to the leveling and erosion of the ground outside of the retaining walls, the metal base that the can stands atop of is pretty tall too, these cans are on stools
I mean, there _was_ that one white pearl that describes an attempted simulation of the entire world (except it was literally a OneShot reference) And if it was completed, that would technically make it Rain World And I’m sure something as complex as a simulation of the entire world would take a lot of processing power to properly run, meaning they’d have the Iterators run it, which would somewhat resemble them playing it… So yes, I believe an Iterator CAN Rain World!
That's a big van they have. The puppet is kept in the small puppet chamber, the can is the main superstructure, afaik, people still get this mixed up due to the sheer scale.
ive been looking for the 3d model of the iterator for a while so i could 3d print it, if you could drop a link to download it that would be appreciated
@@traso56 I tried to make one too (to make a mini model of an iterator irl) the amount of time and effort that must've taken is incredible, you have my respect.
I used an addon to make the plating details, but for more prominent features like pipes and that kind of stuff I made and placed them by hand. It was around 95% manual work and 5% automatic
May I know if you made the iterator model yourself? I have a 3D artwork of the iterator cans but it isn't as accurate as you have made it. Sorta just slapped random details around and only built the core large portions.
Yes, I made it myself from scratch. To make it I took the picture of five pebbles that you can see in outer expanse. Then edited the picture to remove perspective and make some dark areas more visible. Then I carefully built the components to match as close as I could. I had to guess in a bunch of places and also added some of my own interpretations (interestingly in the original picture some components are floating mid air lol, in my model I fixed this) The other parts like the other faces were designed by me entirely. Trying to keep the same style but still different enough

Also FP was built when the daily rain was already occurring. Imagine building in such conditions.

The freaking communication array got broken
Both the artist and engineer sides of me love this.
Yup
This made me realize I haven’t tooken my pills
this looks like a TUNIC intro tbh lol
Tunic and Rain World have a startling amout of overlap.
TUNIC mentioned
Dude I thought this was an anime opening at first that is some crazy good detail
thanks a lot!

I moved the clouds down to the legs so I could showcase the entire model. You could say it was an artistic choice haha
the fact you can actually explore this entire structure is insane
crazy how much attention the concept of being above the clouds with the iterators gets in the rain world community
This is amazing, how are you not more well known!?
This is insane, can't imagine how much work it must have been
But the hunger within me will not die down. This is nice and shiny, now I want to see a weathered one, hundreds and thousands of cycles after it's been built, covered in patches of what looks like a thin layer of mold, lichen or moss at a distance but is actually foliage and other biomass from plants and critters that have climbed this mountain over time, as well as dust, especially just above the cloud layer as the rain would of course wash a lot off of the lower parts and not many things would make it all the way to the top, but we do see a fair amount of plant life in-game even if it's not doing too well trying to live on this metallic desert

In any case, fantastic job, I'm in love with this and will be repeatedly rewatching it for a while
I love how you can just barely see the scug as like 3 pixels at the start
a cool way to visualize the scale!
Lmao, it seems like everyone and their mother is making their own Iterator model, including me.
Really good job on the details and greeble!
Good luck to you too!
how did slugcat climb up THAT?
Scug is just built diffy
Good question, there aren't even pipes or poles
They've been working out
Their posture makes me imagine they have no idea how they did it either. They’re just like “what the heck-“
vulture dropped it off
if rain world had cutscenes for entering regions
HOLY MOLY THIS IS AMAZING
all sides of the can arent same and EXTREMLY DETAILED LIKE CRAZY
Green electric detail at bottom
This work is INSANE
thanks. I decided to make all sides different because it would be cooler
Bro dropped the hardest can edit
I headcannon that this is NSH solely because when I first watched this I thought the music was coming from inside the can
It's supposed to be a generic iterator. Can't be 5P because moon is very close but sure it could be NSH hehe
more like iterator can’t
Seriously though, you’re super talented. Ancient’s should have hired you as an architect.
"Godlike by comparison" - Five Pebbles.
THAT IS AMAZING!
Instead of reading the title as "Iterator can - Rainworld animation" I read it as "Iterator can 'rainworld' - animation"
lol this is so funny
same

Oh the little slugcat looking at it with determination.
canned iterator (on sale!)
I've always imagined them as cylindrical... you know, like cans?
Absolutely gorgeous ma dude
Thanks a lot!
I rlly loved how you framed scale and the models are clean :DD It's amazing
thanks a lot!
So much detail!
This is incredible!! Would it be possible for you to release the 3d files?
WHAT RHIS IS AMAZINF?! GOOD JOB :D
that slugcat is me and the can is my urges to loose nnn
Crazy to think that Five Pebbles destroyed one of these giant buildings
yeah that was messed up
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS FIREEEE THE DETAIL AAAA I LOVEEEE THIS GREAT WORKKK🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I thought it was the in Minecraft for like 3.5 seconds
wow! it really is good can!
I really need a Iterator superstructure model for Blender, I wanna see the time and effort that went into modelling that giant ass structure-
This is so awesome!!
Excellent job
Cool, now im gonna climb it with the blue wormy
For more accuracy you could cover half of the wall in clouds, but i know its for showcasing the whole model
for some reason this made me laugh, thanks for that lol. Cool render!
Very nice!
Mmmm subnautica alien buildings
This is top tier epic.
Its amazing!
This is really cool ❤
Exiting to see the result after how long you've been posting about it!
thank you. I also was able to finally rest xd
Love the whymsical music
Code, Lyoko type stuff.
I thought the van was the chamber that the Iterator puppet lives in, and the main machine was the superstructure
That's a big van they have.
The puppet is kept in the small puppet chamber, the can is the main superstructure, afaik, people still get this mixed up due to the sheer scale.
I used to think this too when I first joined the fandom 😭
How long did it take to make all these details lol
this is insanely impressive
Looks good!
oh my goodness a scug
yes I think they can
ive been looking for the 3d model of the iterator for a while so i could 3d print it, if you could drop a link to download it that would be appreciated
real metal
see if the slugcat at the end was Monk, you could have had a "banana for scale"
Missed opportunity
wow really nice i like that you also scaled the iterator, is there a way to download it? it would be nice to have a backside on my iterator aswell ^^

wheres the 3d model
Can it play Carameldansen
Why are there no driveable trains in train world 😭
Do you ever think about returning to GD now that 2.2 is out?
