• A weather effect plugin that adds snow or rain to the pano.
• The snow flakes can be made out of pixels (default) or individual images.
• Use the plugin blendmode setting for additional compositing effects.
• Performance tip: the rendering of the snow effect can slow down the rendering framerate. So a way to make the rendering faster again and increase the framerate would be to disable the krpano Flash10 renderer, see here: display.flash10.

      Instead of snow flakes there are falling down lines to simulate raining. The style of the rain lines can be adjusted by the color, rainwidth and rainalpha settings.
    • image
      The snow flakes will be made out of images. The image must be set by imageurl setting. And the scaling of the image can adjusted the imagescale setting.
