I found this 3d rain effect posted by Cloggy
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=42466&b=6

I like the effect but it does not work when turning the camera around, or looking up and down.

The part I don't understand is the pick vectors in



I've attached a modified version of the 3d rain code. I added a skybox for movement reference, and attached camera rotation to the mouse.

You may like this example
I think you may need to find the proper "rain" texture that blends correctly with your environment and also use cones instead of cylinders for the look-up effect
cheers

Thanks Scorpyo,
I like your example, Cylinders with scrolling texture.
Simple and very effective

I use scrolling textures on my water surfaces, if I'm not using water shaders. I did not think of using it like you did for the rain.

I'll play around with this.
Thanks again for your help.
