Rain Over Water TutorialMarch 29th, 2008
The very long awaited and featured rain over water sequence is now complete in tutorial form! This tutorial is in 3 parts detailing the initial texture, creating the water, and creating the rain, all completely inside After Effects. This one has been a long time coming and i’ve had a lot of requests on how to do it so i hope this satisfies you guys. Any questions, you know where to ask them.

Hey guy,
i really like your tutorial. Its really nice to see how you combine and use different Plugins to create this really realistic looking Effect, especially the water.
I saw the same Effect on a other AE Site with CC Particle World, but yours looking much better.
Whats your opinion to enhance the Water Drops with a rendered Particle by a 3D Programm like Cinema4D. Did u think it can improve the scene?
Many THX for this tutorial and greetiings from Germany

btw. how long did you worked on the original projekt? I can imagine that its took Days, Weeks, Month to get the right settings.

Hi Warti,
A 3D particle could work fine on enhancing the scene; in 3D you could add a lot more detail to each particle and such. Maybe you could take the water texture and create a reflection map on the particles.
In making the original it kind of happened in stages. I got the rough idea down in a couple of days to a week, and then kept coming back to it over time. I expect the final product wasn’t done for about a month.

Awesome stuff!
Really enjoyed the tutorial, excellent work.
I’m thinking of making a rain sequence, and both this and your raindrop tutorial will come in extremely handy
Thanks for providing such a great source of Adobe After Effects Tutorials!

May 7th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Hi
I haven’t yet made the tutorial for creating the rain without Particular. It’s on the list for future tutorials.

I right click on the files to save as, but for some reason it doesn’t work. I’d love to save the high-rez quicktime files, but all that I can do right now is click on the links and watch the flash rain over water tutorials.

http://rhys-works.com/media/Main_11.mov this is the link to the hi-rez effect, see if that works.

Nice tutorial,
I have one problem I have not the CC Starbust on my after effects,
Do you know where I can get this effects?
May 29th, 2008 at 7:52 am
It’s a CyCore Fx plugin. It should ship with your version of After Effects.
May 31st, 2008 at 9:57 pm
yeah i have the same problem.
i have adobe effects CS3 and i dont have cc starburst in my effects.
i have a starbust in my synthetics… but how do i go on with the tutorial?
im kinda stuck… :\
can i download that effect ?
June 1st, 2008 at 3:55 pm
The CyCore effects plugins are a set of plugins that ship with After Effects. i.e. you have them straight out of the box. They’re made by the cycorefx group and have been bundled with AE for some time. When you buy AE, you buy those too.
June 2nd, 2008 at 5:40 am
yeah i didn’t buy it though…
so it didn’t come in a box.
June 2nd, 2008 at 6:01 am
yeah same here because i downloaded the demo version so i dont have those things.
you should let us be able to download your project file like that guy does at videopilot.com
its really helpful.
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:06 am
Project files will be coming as part of something else some time in the future.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:36 am
I have found the plugin and now I can finaly continue with the tutorial thank you very much!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:48 am

I like it. Though it looks a little like the rain is moving with the camera, you could try offsetting the rain to the camera laterally maybe?
September 24th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
really, i was desparated for such rain effect and i found it here.it gave me a great pleasure.thank
you for helping us.may be it will be very fruitful for all.

Impressive tutorial. I have been messing about with rain effects for some time, mainly trying to achieve the “rain on lens” Bokeh effect. I have it quite well worked out, but was wondering if you might like to have a look at it and suggest improvements. If it gets to a fully workable stage you could make up a tutorial for others. If the idea grabs you, drop me an email and I’ll send you the files.
Cheers,
Rob

hey the tutorial is awesome…
but i had a que.
i have made the water effect but when i made particular rain drops effect , in that u have made collide effect…i mean ur raindrops touches the ground and mine doesnt
wat can be the prob?
i also want to make that bounce effect…
hope to hear from u soon…
anyway thanks…
June 12th, 2009 at 9:21 am
how did u make that bounce effect?
i m not able to do that….
anyway the tuts is awesome
thanks
June 12th, 2009 at 9:28 am
The bounce effect is achieved with the floor layer i set up, and the particular ‘bounce’ settings you should see me alter in the video. If things aren’t bouncing right, the chances are you’ve either not set up the floor layer correctly/in the right place, or that you don’t have the bounce settings configured.
Taking a look at those parts of the video should help.
