Demo introduction video


Pack has 4 types of usage:

1. Translucent Material

2. Material Overlay Function (needs Blueprint editing on an existing material)

3. Material Overlay Volume (projection decal system that doesn't require any editing, just copy & paste)

4. Camera Post Process Effect


Forward Shading Incompatibilities:

  • Rain overlay volume system in the rain material pack uses "scene texture: world normals" which is not supported on projects with "forward shading". So it won't be possible to use rain volume BP on VR projects. but animated translucent rain material, post proces volume, and rain overlay material are usable on projects that uses "forward shading".


Unreal Engine 5 Incompatibilities:

  • Crashes on the projects if (experimentalI) Substrate Materials are enabled.
  • Material Overlay Volume system causes ignoring smooth normals because of a bug stated here.


Update 5! (May 2024)

Fixed particle emitter spawn area for better collision calculation.

Fixed raindrop lifetime calculation for exact boundary for the particles.


With this update Rain Overlay Volume Blueprint has additional parameters.

Raindrop Lifetime - Particle lifetime for the drops

Runtime Enable - Enable this for having the rain BP system on simulation or gameplay. Enabling this paramteter will disable the BP system in the editor to prevent duplication.

Update 4! (March 2024)

With this update Rain Overlay Volume Blueprint is added. Drag and drop "BP_Rain_Volume_with_PP" Blueprint and resize it to define an area in your level to add an all-in-one solution for the rain system. All decal projections, particle area and the rate is auto adjusted and can be manually adjusted by parameters.

Cafeteria Scene is now included. Enjoy :)

Update 2!

Dynamic Rain Volume with rain particles is added as a usage option. It is not as realistic as the original usage of the material but it is very easy to make an area look like it's under rain by placing the volume over the area.
