This may be a more artisticly inclined question, but I think it still applies in this forum: What are the quickest, easisest ways to get some nice atmosphere (weather) effects on a terrain? I tried using some different lighting, but this doesn't seem to affect the actual terrain. I also tried using fog, but that didn't look too great either :/


Thanks in advance.

Hi elseano,
If I should to do that probably use a combination
of particles (rain), fog and for the lighting effects,
if illumination doesn't work for you, try to read and
change the vertex colours of your terrain.. It's very simple...
A good example of rain is pluie.zip, you can find it in
code archives section and I'm not sure but in www.blitz3dfr.com (filax page)
I hope to be helpful...
:)

Thanks for the tips. I'm studdying the rain (pluie) example at the moment. Blitz3dfr is a great site, shame I can't understand most of it!
