Does anyone have any idea on how to make a realistic rain effect with Bryce? Thanks for any help.

Hehehe, I just post work it with the Flaming Pear plugin for Photoshop. But I do recall coming across a couple of tuts that touch on this subject. Try www.hinchu.com

I like this one a lot, It's Jonathan Allen's "Raincube". Agent Smith

Wow,what a coincedence! I just tried the brycetech tutorial on this! I feel so dumb though because I didn't even know how to place the cube at world centre lol.I think I probably should know that...so anyway how is it done? =p

normally , when you dodnt move the camera arund before loading the cube it`s nearly placed at the right place

Select the cube and click on the little "A" box that comes up in the viewscreen. Change the top X and Z value to zero, then click the checkmark. Agent Smith

thought that objects were created at world centre by default but because the rain effect didn't work as it was supposed to I thought it must have been that.I'll have to try it again I think.

There is a standard rain mat that comes with Bryce, which I've used before on a stretched cube to good effect.

Another great technique with the stock rain mat is to place it on an infinite plain, then tilt the plain up and face it towards the camera (track object). Then mess with the mat's frequency until it produces good close-looking results. Lastly, duplicate this plain several times and spread them farther and farther from the camera. I have found this to yield fair results, and the moral "higher ground" of keeping it all in Bryce feels damn good, too.

Or cheat - put the rain mat on a cube and put it around the camera. Easier :) A sphere makes the rain all swirly. I used the raincube for my bryce gallery image "Homeward Bound" Everyone assumes the rain is post! :) Lyrra
