Looking for a Rain Effect
Hi,
I haven't found anything about it.
Anyone know how to create a simple but decent rain effect that could be used in a game? the effect must be over a charmode background.
I have tried some crappy attempts (using characters and masks because don't want to use sprites) to do it but failed miserably and didn't get anything close to acceptable.

There are some pretty comfortable tries in:
Ghouls'n'Ghosts (sprites)
The Detective Game (sound)
Weatherwar (chars)

Thats a cool idea for a demo part, Rain and who can achieve the best effect on C64 :D
Having been slightly addicted to Heavy Rain on the PS3, it features possibly the most amazing rain Ive seen appear during a video game. I never thought Id find myself describing rain as amazing. During the into theres Rain blobs, Rain falling, Rain running down walls, and Rain causing puddles to ripple. |

When it comes to rain fx, this one comes to my mind:
Rain Forest

One-Der
Had a nice rain-like fx.
(not sure what you meant exactly).
You shall find a different kindof rain here:
Microprose Soccer
or here ;-)

I remember "pouring rain over glass window" effect in Access Denied/Reflex.
As for the "diagonal lines rain" also Rain Forest/Vermes came to my mind.
The one in One-Der/Oxyron (and also similar at the end of Deep Blue/Arise) is more of a liquid-surface fx and I think it's not what Carlos had in mind. |

a good rain effect can be achived this way.
1) use two different but close direction angles for rain drop paths.
2) use at least two different speeds for each path to have a 3d depth feeling (like starfields).
If you choose direction angles and speeds carefully, you can easily tile the whole thing. So, you can even have precalculated frames so you just spend some cycles for drawing, masking etc. |
