About this effect
Falling Rain composites animated rain streaks over the image at a consistent angle and speed, paired with subtle reflective highlights on any implied wet surfaces. Drop density and streak length are tunable so the effect can range from a light drizzle to a heavier downpour. The rain layer respects the original image lighting direction so streaks catch highlights consistently rather than looking pasted on.
