Animated Rain Effect - Photoshop CS2 - Game Signatures

Rusty · 10-23-2008, 10:46 PM

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make Animated Rain Effect into your Signatures! For this tutorial I am using Photoshop CS2 and Imageready.

Before i go on you MUST have a Dark signature as too much light and you won't see the Rain so lets begin then, I'll be using a Spiderman Signature here it is:

So once you'v opened it make a New Layer and fill it with Black, select your new Layer and go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. (Tick Monochromic)

Then go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur.

Then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. (Don't Touch Output Settings)

Set the rain layer to Screen and set Opacity to 50%, now you should have something like mine.

Now i will show you how to animate it with Little Effort, enlarge your rain layer slightly and place into position, go to Window > Animation if your animation box isn't already opened. Create a new Frame and move the Rain layer slightly till you have Six Unique Frames no Delay timer is needed so simply Save Optimized As.

Final Result:

If you don't want to use it often, you can get the Trial from Adobe site , go to the search and search for Adobe Photoshop, unfortunatly you will have to download photoshop too because it comes with Imageready :)

I can't find out how to enlarge the rain layer only.
All I can see is Image size. Anyone can point me in the right direction
