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
@@traso56 i can help you with modelling this stuff - you provide me with PARTS of the model, i make a script which GENERATES a huge 3d structure of them, while keeping following the visual style and structural rules and i mean HUGE
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 think by original lore, the structure is several times taller than shown considering the Underhang and the Wall locations, it should be the height of several skyscrapers also, do notice, if it was the size as shown, it would NOT have flooded the whole planet with downpours
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!
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
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.
@Mushroom38294 this is supposed to be a generic iterator. Not anyone in particular. The city is heavily inspired in luna so that's why it looks almost the same. Thanks for watching :D
@@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

Dude I thought this was an anime opening at first that is some crazy good detail
thanks a lot!
Funniest part is that this model is just very polished and finished version of model you see on top of outer expanse tree
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
I love how you can just barely see the scug as like 3 pixels at the start
a cool way to visualize the scale!
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-“

This is amazing, how are you not more well known!?
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
Bro dropped the hardest can edit
Average galvanized square steel apartment in New York:
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
i think by original lore, the structure is several times taller than shown
considering the Underhang and the Wall locations, it should be the height of several skyscrapers
also, do notice, if it was the size as shown, it would NOT have flooded the whole planet with downpours
if rain world had cutscenes for entering regions
I've always imagined them as cylindrical... you know, like cans?
You can see the can from outer expanse and it is very much rectangular.
more like iterator can’t
Seriously though, you’re super talented. Ancient’s should have hired you as an architect.
Oh the little slugcat looking at it with determination.
FP: "how tf did you get up here?"
The Iterators deserved so much better 🥺
that slugcat is me and the can is my urges to loose nnn

Absolutely gorgeous ma dude
Thanks a lot!
WHAT RHIS IS AMAZINF?! GOOD JOB :D
for some reason this made me laugh, thanks for that lol. Cool render!
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 incredible!! Would it be possible for you to release the 3d files?
So much detail!
I would sure hope that iterators can rainworld
For more accuracy you could cover half of the wall in clouds, but i know its for showcasing the whole model
This is top tier epic.
Love the whymsical music
This is so awesome!!
Crazy to think that Five Pebbles destroyed one of these giant buildings
yeah that was messed up
Excellent job

real metal
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS FIREEEE THE DETAIL AAAA I LOVEEEE THIS GREAT WORKKK🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Instead of reading the title as "Iterator can - Rainworld animation" I read it as "Iterator can 'rainworld' - animation"
lol this is so funny
same
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
