Hello again,

last time i asked for help to create a "zero-room" which works quite good (accept the render times).
Now i wanted to create more...
I wanted to create a short animation within this zero-room.
All the animation is happening around a logo. The logo shouldn´t move at all just the enviroment. The Logo is made out of glas with a little illumination. I did this allready.
Now i wanted to create a cloud growing from a small white into a big black one. After this there should be a flury of rain. The raindrops should interact with the logo - they should "flow" on the objekts around (logo, ground).
It sounds complicated to develop, and i guess it is very difficult in deed! I allready created a cloud animation - but the rendertimes is to high). I think for the rain and interaction with the objects i have to work with the dynamic plugin (?)
May be soemone is familiar with animation and could help me.

Thank you very much.

Are The best way to create the rain is to use a particle-emitter. But the Dynamics-Plugin is not able to calculate particle interactions. I would create a animated texture of drops, runnig down the logo and a simple particle-emitter emitting the rain.
