In Poser 8, is there a material for the Atmosphere to produce rain or snow or hail?

Perhaps you can "fake" it with multiple planes and materials on those planes.  (sort of like how Disney made "3d" animation using a multiplane camera)?

 Not that I remember but there is a 3rd party tool,  Fog Tool Deluxe - says it does rain. Since you do a lot of ocean and outdoor scenes, I've wonder if you've ever tried using Vue?

Poser's Atmosphere is one of the things that I hope the team are working on for Poser X (or whatever the next version will be called). I don't think it's changed since about Poser 6.

Here is a free rain tool, and if you look through Traveler's atmospheric items, she has a few more, including fog and my favorite, fireworks, for free.

The fog tool Delux is very good but it does take a while to render well.  In the past I have tried to get the lighting match the scene I am looking to finish with and then add the 'atmosphere' using layers in post work.

One of the things I have found interesting using Luxrender is the use of volumes to create atmosphere such as fog, not sure on rain and snow as yet as I have only just started playing.  It may be me but the setting up of atmopheres appears to be much easier in Lux and, depending on the scene, renders as fast if not faster than Firefly.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

in future version, atmosphere may be amenable to certain 3D textures, analogous to APS pattern function.  I would have flower petals as pattern, but rain/snow should be elementary IMVHO.

If you want snow on surfaces you can try Snarlygribbly's Snow Machine script
