🕷 Spider Web with Dew: Droplet Loading, Rayleigh-Plateau Beading and Web Vibration Modes (2D)

Dew on an orb web: condensation from the Magnus dew point, Rayleigh-Plateau beading of the water film, drop merging and dripping, thread sag under load and the wind-driven vibration modes of the web, with in-page numerical checks and a Blender-rendered meadow, spider and dew-drop highlights.
