Rainy Window Tutorial

Chapter 1: Background Plate

In this massive, 3-chapter tutorial you will learn how to create an After Effects scene with a realistic rain dripping down a window. In chapter 1 I explain the creation of the background plate -- from a single photograph to an illusion of an alive city at night. In chapter 2 I walk you though the creation of rain simulation using Trapcode Particular. The final, 3rd chapter focuses on compositing these elements together to create the final look.

Difficulty: Medium

Required tools: After Effects, Trapcode Particular

Recommended tools: Trapcode Shine

Intro and Outro music: "Ghosts II" by Nine Inch Nails
