Default Creating Rain

Hi:

Can someone point me to a tutorial where I can make rain? I'm animating a sea storm and I need realistic rain. I'm using v5.6 (it's old, I know), but I can't find a good tutorial.

Thank you.

check out the FREE ocean storm tutorial right here on SimplyLightwave, I think (not 100% sure) that there is rain in it

Hi Matt:

I tried to download this tutorial, but I was cut off twice. 49 mb is kind of a large file to dl.

Is there any other tutorials that you know of for v5.6 or higher?

Thank you.

Did you try downloading the file in smaller chunks using the option on the download page to do that?

It's just too great of a tutorial to pass up. Keep trying.

Yes, Matt is correct there is a method for recreating rain in there. Should be just what you need.


IIRC it involves placing a scene foreground texture in place with a gradient to fade it towards the bottom of the frame. Then, simply animate the noise - presto - instant rain...
