Where can I find locations of tutorials and such that could teach me how to make really good and very interesting rain effects. If there is source for a basic system to do it that would be a greatly appreciated bonus. I am trying to figure out how to use directx and direct3d to make a simple rain effect. I just want the rain nothing more just basic rain. Yet, I cannot find a site source or any other information on this. Any help would be greatly accepted. Killer Eagle Software
