What I mean to say is, does it look like rain?

This is not rain... It looks like it's raining cats and dogs! ;) Well done!

Could use a bit more background to make it stand out. What settings did you use to get this effect? Dave

It looks like an emboss filter to me.

It's 13 2-sided planes aranged in a row like slices of a cube. There are five texture maps and five custom bumpmaps with blue in them to refract light from the wrong side of the plane, causing a slightly crystalline effect.

Cool effect, _dodger.

so its rain mainly on the planes? (sorry, couldn't resist) Neat effect . Do another with a photo bkg, so we can see better?

well, if you really want to know...its below freezing and my frickin' water is frozen, but I assume you mean the picture... I have a tutorial on the rain effect you have got going there at brycetech.com. its an alternative to the volumetric rain material (in bryce) I have up for it. this kinda rain can take a bit of time to render in some circumstances, but it does look cool doesnt it?

Hmm, sunny with a slight breeze....in the high 60's....ducking from the snowballs being tossed.

brycetech: I don't have Bryce, I use Max. Thugh that tut isn't quite the same thing. It is slow to render because of all the trans maps, that's true. One of the tricks I used that you don't have (and that you don't get in PBryce) is that by using a manually created BUM I can do the nifty fake-refraction effect. The BUM I used had blush bottom edges to things. Because this is outside of the red-green gamut it pulls light from beyond the reflection range of the surface, simulating refraction. You can't do it with a greyscape bumpmap.

yeah it looks a little like rain. it needs to show the impression of falling though. So, Lyrra where does it rain again?('My fair Lady' was such a good movie.) cheers, - TJ

Bikermouse: it's supposed to be a still of rain. The raindrops are frozen in place.
