The rain is choppy and I want it to be smoother as it looks like it’s constant rain pour.
Please help a girl out.

Did you mean for the second time interval to be 0?

Maybe use more of the same overlay over each other? It might make it look heavier

No, I just followed an example from another author.

I’ll try that, thanks.

I’ve tried it and it’s not working.

Hmm, have you tried just using the rain effect that already exists in the portal? Or are you using overlays because you don’t want the entire screen to be covered with rain?

When I use rain overlays I overlap multiple copies and loop their opacity rather than shifting them.

I didn’t even bother to check the portal :sweat_smile: I’ll definitely try that out.
