Making rain FX

Devon Lyon · July 21st, 2006, 08:53 AM

I regularly use BORIS FX (just Google it). You will pay, but the plugin for After Effects has a ton of cool effects, including snow, rain, etc. You can adjust all the parameters of the rain, like size, opacity speed, angle, amount, depth, on and on.

I looked at Particle Illusion SE and will probably download 3.0 to try to see if it can produce similar results.[QUOTE]

Jesse,

"There's a good rain emitter in the July 2004 library."

I found it the other day, it is good to learn from and a good place to start to make your own.

Bill,

Pardon my ignorance, what is the "July 2004 Library"? Is it on DVi?

Thanks in advance,

The library is available as a download from the ParticleIllusion site.
Here are all the 2004 libraries for example:

I've had PI for quite some time (longer than I've used Shake or AE) and still use it quite often due to it's speed and ease of use. Great tool.
