Godmaster Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 The second looks more like rain, but both seem to be in need of improvement. A waterfall is very different from rain. Only small bits of water come down while it's raining, while a waterfall is a sheet of water. I'd recommend doing two different foregrounds with very thin rain drops on them. Have one move down at one speed, while the other moves down at a slightly slower speed. Yeah, but the main reason for using an edited GH waterfall (the only that fits lika a "rain"), is to make a constant drizzle, that would be combined to a downtown, during the night, with some lightnings and floods. The pixel lines sequence from the original GH was: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So, I overlayed two waterfalls like that (with different alpha values), with 1 pixel offset to right, enough to cover the empty lines. But I would need a different animation to storm effects. Thanks for helping ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroSublime Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 It's a little heavy, I think this type of pattern would be better suited: / / / / / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Herosublime took the words out of my mouth. Make fewer drops and make them fall diagonally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah but also with rain, it isn't always diagonal and isn't always vertical. I am not sure what program you are using but is there a way to skew it in game, or rotate it so it goes more: 1. | | | | | | | | | | | | 2. / / / / / / / / / / / / 3. | | | | | | | | | | | | 4. \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ It would change (like the wind changing how it falls, randomly) But the amount and direction depends on how he wants it to feel, if he wants it more storm like and this heavy windlesss rain then it would look like that, but if he wants it just to be rain and being blown then you would have it diagonally.

Huepow00 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Having it change direction depending on how fast your traveling in a specific direction would look kewl as well... I think the snow from Donkey Kong did that didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoram Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 The direction and speed with which you are travelling wouldn't affect the inclination of the rain. Wind does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael0505 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I think he's saying "what the" to Xoram's triple post. I'd delete two of them for him, but they're all slightly different and I don't know which one to keep. Godmaster: Much better, it's great. The original rain was awful.

Guest Shadix Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 The image in confusing as hell.... What IS it? If those are supposed to be prerenders you did a pisspoor job of choosing a good angle and configuring your renderer. Oh and not only that but the meshwork is abysmal :\.

Spike Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 For the lulz: This is the early 2004 build of Sonic 4 (I thought I had lost it for sure by now). I never released any info or screens from it, for obvious reasons. This build lasted about 1 month before I was too ashamed to continue, and started over. Edit: For truly epic lulz, post #1000.
