https://pilotltkettch.250free.com/raining3.zip well, here's what I've got so far, using that creation expression, i just need to figure out how to make the drops stick to the skin a bit better, as friction doesn't do it right (it's already at .9 here). thanks for all replies, and thanks in advance for future replies. if anyone can offer help with the drop stickiness, don't hesitate to comment.
