I know a have really a problem with surfaces i dont like my results but i love to play with clouds and light :)
Greetings Denis
I think that using clouds for the back ground rain would work better. They would have to be very large and very, very light (Not dense). A plane in front of the camera could make the droplets (and animate them). It would require an alpha channel around the raindrops.
those atmosphere samples are extremely high......
Hey good work on the shaft of light i must say.
BTW, almost everyone does a 'Bad Weather' render isn't it :)
Cheers!
:) Lets take a look over the clouds. Its like "cream" mjam :D
