Weather Effects
by Talon · in Artist Corner · 04/26/2006 (9:43 pm) · 7 replies
Hi, i'm an indie, and a begginer, and I am trying my best as a modeler to stay away from programming and focus.
But can you please tell me please, how to do waether effects, and water blocks, without having to do huge programming sheets?
If so, I'd appreciate it, and I'll get back as as fast as I can to you.
