Hello again, it's me, Drew. I saw that many of you were thinking about how to work out the rain effect. Well, I took matters into my own hands and came up with a little snipet I think most of you could benefit from. Go ahead and try it out! Just use a pure-blue image or something shaded blue for the texturing. Bon appetite!
Explination: It creates an area of 10000 around the camera, randomly positions drops in this void, and then lowers all the y values of the drops until they become non-visible by the camera, at which point, are again randomly positioned once more in the area. NOTE: You can specify your own distance (rainfield), how many drops (drops), and how fast they fall (fallspeed). Nothing else should be needed to be insterted.
Cheers,
Drew
