Can anyone recommend a Rain prop or script available anywhere?

I've seen Rain props, but they seem to be for creating a single picture.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

If you don't rapidly find what you want for free, come back. I will show you how to make one.

But if you can find one, making it is a waste of time.

If you put this shader on some cylinders which you rotate in front of the camera, I think it would be convincing.

But I haven't worked it out, so like I said, if you can find one ready-made, go for it.

Seamless rain plane animated on the V offset?

Would be very interested in a static version of this effect. I haven't animated in 5 years. Those demos looked great, BB, as always!

I started thinking about new ways to do this. I think I've improved. Will post tomorrow.

Here's a short demo video.

For those who have matmatic

def Pn(*a): return P(*a).asNumber()

a = PM(.02, "A")
bottom = PM(.55, "Bottom")
speed = PM(4, "Speed")

k = Add(1).labelled("K")
s = 15
fo = Frame_Number() * speed
x1 = Pn(s, as, 0) + fo
x2 = Pn(s, -as, 0) - fo
y = Pn(0, .01*s, 0)
z = Pn(0, 0, 0)

p1 = FractalSum(x1, y, z, 2, bottom)
p2 = FractalSum(x2, y, z, 2, bottom)

p = p1 * p2

Surface(1, 1, 1, 0, 0, Transparency = p)

I used the multi-layer fog prop I posted a couple years ago. If you apply the shader to a single layer, it needs adjustment. The multiple layer prop gives a nice effect of some drops really close and some far away. If we were to do this on a single layer, I'd have to put several copies of the shader nodes into it at different scales.

Both are possible - but I'm heading out shortly.

Dumb it down for me doc.

I don't know 1 bazillionth of what you know.

I was just hoping for something to add to the scene, control the rain or whatever, doesn't have to be free, just easy.  I've been playing with poser for years and I'm still a newbie. The things you folks do amaze me. I'm still trying to get figures to look "somewhat" natural when they move.  I needed the rain thing for a quick animation using toon people so it doesnt have to be perfect, just have to be able to tell it's raining. :)

I guess I could overlay some static images moving them in frames in photoshop. Might work.

The fog thing looks very cool. I'll have to try it just for grins.

Found the rain tool at daz3d, it might work. http://www.daz3d.com/rain-tool

Thank you all!

If youve got After Effects as well as Photoshop--it can make animated rain effects. I've not done it myself, but I've seen the results, and it's quite realistic.
