Lin Evans Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Hi Lin found your snow tutorials very interesting and was wondering how the technique could be modified to make it rain instead of snow?Happy New YearregardsGeoff Hi Geoff,I've been working on that but have not yet found exactly the technique which I want to pursue. There are some decent programs which generate rain effects including puddles on the ground complete with raindrop effects. They output AVI or individual sequential jpegs and I'm looking into possibly using this technique. When I get it nailed down I'll post on it.Best regards,Lin Quote
Ronniebootwest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Lin,can you post some links to the programs you mention about 'rain' please. Quote
Ken Cox Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 for starters seeirfanview latest edition 3.99 cw pluginsraindropsimage/effects/raindropshave not found any adjustments as to size - in this case i just kept clicking raindrops to get enough for sampleken Quote
Lin Evans Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Lin,can you post some links to the programs you mention about 'rain' please. Hi Ken,I haven't kept the links except for one:http://xiberpix.homestead.com/SqirlzReflect.htmlThis one is most promising so far, but the rest haven't helped. Most create a rain effect for a given image but what I'm looking for is a rain effect which can be used independently of a particular image such as the snow PNG files I've created.Lin Quote
thedom Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 For a still (not animated) rainy day effect, you can use Panosfx's free excellent photoshop action :http://panosfx.com/index.php?option=com_co...9&Itemid=27As usual, the action is completely customizable...Combined with an animated rain effect, the result should be quite convincing...As Lin said, the hardest part is to create the mask.Maybe I will give it a try this week-end...

Lin Evans Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 Hi Dom,This one may hold more promise for what we want to achieve, but it requires running a sequence of jpg's rather than creating a PNG directly. That presents issues as well - not an easy one to resolve.http://xiberpix.homestead.com/SqirlzReflect.htmlBest regards,Lin For a still (not animated) rainy day effect, you can use Panosfx's free excellent photoshop action :http://panosfx.com/index.php?option=com_co...9&Itemid=27As usual, the action is completely customizable...Combined with an animated rain effect, the result should be quite convincing...As Lin said, the hardest part is to create the mask.Maybe I will give it a try this week-end...
