Hi Spikboi

The simplest way to create rain/snow in V5E is covered in a tutorial in the V5 manual and basically involves putting two rotating cylinders (of different diameters) around the camera, with a semi transparent material with rain/snow particles on them

In V5I however, you can also create an EcoSystem of raindrops and animate using a Python Script.

Here's the script and example over at C3D (see example screenshot)

I do realise this is V5I and you have V5E only - but just to show the possibilities..

Footprints (hmm tricky) - i've not seen done in an animation yet, but am sure there might be a few ways to do this with a bit of ingenuity...

Kind regards
