    Hi Guys – Just seen amazing rain effects on trapcode particular – can anyone tell me if this plug works in motion please? (cant find any reference to motion on the trapcode site) If its not compatible can motions particles recreate rain? If so any pointers very gratefully received
    Many Thanks

    Really sorta depends what quality of rain you have in mind. Trapcode’s plugins work with AFX but not Motion AFAIK.

    Thanks Noah – Is After Effects the best option for this?

    Really really depends what you want. Rain can be anything from photorealistic 3D or stock footage to highly stylized Sin City style.

    The biggest mistake you will see in such effects from newbies is that natural events like rain are chaotic. The readily available simulations and particle systems are not. You need to figure out how to achieve your look. It ain’t easy to make fake rain look real. It’s easier to shoot real rain and make it look fake.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
