Atmospheric

Use these presets to create weather-like effects, such as clouds, rain, or snow.

Proxy Name/Description/Comments
Cloud_Generator

A one-frame cloud. Use Number and Size settings. Try with the texture's Axis settings and the geometry's Magnitude and Scaling settings.
Fog

Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and Speed to characterize the fog.
Heavy_Fog

Use Number, Lifetime, Size, and Speed to characterize the fog.
Rain

Use Number and Speed to trigger the amount of rain. Colour correct the white media’s Front, and set rain_generator Transparency to improve blending.
Rainfall

Use Number and Speed to trigger the amount of rain. Colour correct the white media’s Front, and set rain_generator Transparency to improve blending. Use gravity's Rotation_Y to make it windier.
Snow

Use Number, Size, and Speed for characterizing the snow.
Snow_Graphical

Use Number, Size, and Speed for characterizing the snow. Play with lighting.
Snow_Windy

Use Number, Size, and Speed for characterizing the snow. Try with wind’s Magnitude and axis animation to mimic the wind.
Surfing_Clouds

Flying into the clouds. Use gravity's Rotation_X expression to stay above clouds, or dive into them.
Tornado

Use Magnitude in the size manipulator to scale the tornado. Use Magnitude and Power in the twist manipulator to alter the shape of the tornado.
Tornado_ZatZero

Same as Tornado, but with emitter Z=0.
