How to make rain effect - PART 1
So after talking with Hugo I try to explain how I’ve done the rain effect on my BMW entry for round 14 on autemo.
First off all you need all tools of trade to make the effect:
- Rain brush: http://www.deviantart.com/download/15251819/spiritsighs_rain.abr
This will be uset at first for making the rain effect
- msMaiden Water drops brush set: http://www.deviantart.com/download/122462592/water_drops_brushes_by_msMaiden.rar
This is the second step brush set you need to make water drops on car’s body
- Splish Splash brush set: http://www.deviantart.com/download/39339524/Splish_Splash.zip
This is an awesome set that you use only at the end of the work… I’ll explaint in the PART 2

STEP 1
Let’s start, I use a base of one of my next project (a Lotus Elan).
Using the rain brush you prefer make rain, there’s not required to set the level opacity, just do it.

STEP 2
Using water drops brush set start making drops on the same level with different kind of brush. Brush are really bigger so set them on the size you need (I’ve used an 87px size). There can be some care areas with highlights and drops can’t be seen. Just make darker the drops in this area with the burn tool (try to set at 15%, and use it more time if needed).

STEP 3
Time to make car outline drops, using a little smaller size of drop brush set, follow the car outline (I’ve used 55px size)
